Thanks for the memories! My all-time favorite was Amiga World, and Amiga Shopper secondly. AF's issue 115 featured my A600 fully towerized. Still having a big problem space-wise to keep all those issues stored! Keep up the great work ole' man. ;-)

I remember getting Workbench of the Month in the last issue of Amiga Active. Used to buy most Amiga Mag's of the time, still Amiga Addict is available today and on some News stands which is quite an achievement for almost 40yrs on for the best ever computer made.

Crazy nostalgia buying AMIGA addict in WH SMITH for me!

Towards the end of my amiga 500 years I was buying around 3 mags a month. Just for coverdisks & occasional type ins for Amos or something similar. But by then the content on some of the disks was limited or very brief demos of some game that I wasn't interested in, anyway. And yes, there was full priced offerings on disk but not all of those were something that you could jump straight in with. Looking back, they should have offered more coding content. Just like the majority of the 8bit mags did. Typing in small games/screen tricks/ game cheats made computer magazines more exciting.

I still have every issue of Amiga Format and Amiga Shopper - great times especially with all the “free” software.

All this does is remind me of the depressing lack of content that was there. I don't have much rose-tinted-glasses for most of this time to be honest. The magasine covers while artistic and vibrant really didn't say a lot and the CDs never held much of value. Didn't stop me buying most of them though.

Times may not have been rosy then indeed, but we didn't view the Amiga as a retro platform, the way we do now. An expanded A1200 still had me covered for everyday use, as I didn't have (or need) a PC at home. It was my computer.

@@MrComputerRetro Yeah the amiga brought capabilities to the home that previously didn't exist which was exciting at the time.
