Which Amiga magazine did you buy?
« on: December 21, 2010, 12:25:19 PM »
Just out of interest which Amiga magazine did you buy, and why? I bought CU Amiga which was excellent. Bought Format a few times but not as good as CU Amiga in my opinion.:)

When I was in my early teens I loved Amiga Power - the attitude of the writing, the focus on games, and the cool coverdisks.

When I got a bit older (and AP became a shadow of its former self) I moved to Amiga Format for a bit, then eventually got a subscription to CU Amiga. This was by far the best in terms of quality, content and the amazing CUCDs.

I really miss those magazines :cry:

In the early 90's, I had subscriptions to the following:
Amiga Format
Amiga Shopper
CU Amiga

I used to also buy (but not all the time):
The One Amiga
Amiga Power

The last magazine I bought regularly was Amiga Active.

Every issue of the following and I mean every issue... :)

Amiga Format
Amiga Computing
Amiga Shopper
Amiga User International
CU Amiga

At the height of Amiga mags in the mid 1990s it was costing me nearly 40 quid a month in magazines alone... :eek:

The hardest ones to get hold of were the Amiga User International mags when Robert Maxwell took over and all the money took a tumble along with him when he fell of his yacht and went down to Davie Jones locker... :)

@Franko
You're hardcore... You even bought AUI, which I always found utterly tedious  :lol:

BTW your new avatar is forcing me to move the leftmost 250 pixels of my browser window off the edge of the screen as it makes me feel all funny :nervous:

Tricky, the only thing you could do there is use the "ignore" feature, but it's kinda draconian. How about locating the image in your browser cache and replacing it with a picture of a fluffy bunny?

@ motorollin

I loved AUI, it taught me a lot about programming in 68K and they even gave away special crib cards with every Guru Meditation on them... :)

Sorry bout the avatar... I'll try and find something to give you your 250 pixels back... :)

Amiga Format and CU Amiga, mostly because it was what Real Amigan (tm) was supposed to do at that time. Never read them properly, though.
