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.

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?

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... :)

Ahh back in those days I wasn't interested in programming, mostly because I thought it was too hard :rolleyes:

Import magazines in Australia were expensive as heck, so I stuck to Australian Commodore Amiga Review... I remember getting some ZZap issues and some C+VG and some CU, mostly brit mags, very few american mags, but faithfully ACAR...

Mostly always CU amiga, by far the best Amiga mag, thaough did on occasion buy some of the others, usually based on cover disks

I'd bought Amazing computer Amiga and Awiga World magazines. It's sad that the magazines just dropped off with no closing statement leaving users hanging. They both were good works.

I have the last edition of CU Amiga which had the front cover printed upside down as a bit of a prank. But there was no warning to it's going pre this. But I know one of the team brought out Amiga Advice or something like this. But it folded not long after. I really looked forward to CU Amiga arriving through my letter box each month. Good thoughts. I actually notice that Nick Veitch of Format and CU Amiga went on to work for PC Answers but it too has since folded.

Yeah! I remember that! :lol:

It really was a shock. Mind you, I think it's better for them to go out on a high than to let the magazine shrink away to a stapled leaflet like Amiga Power. ISTR CU printing words to that effect in the last issue.

That's correct they wanted to end on a high and they did. In fact I think they released some heavy duty software stuff on the last disk. Talking of the disks they gave away SCALA 100MM free which was a fantastic piece of software.

I had a subscription to Amiga Format, and would buy other mags, AUI, CU Amiga and Amiga computing as and when they had something I was interested in, in them... My friend had a subscription to Amiga Power so I don't think I ever bought a copy.

CU gave away some amazing software. Here's a link to the last ever issue:

Not their best CUCD TBH, but then they were probably more focussed on making the last issue :cry:
