Default Which Amiga magazine did you buy?
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

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...

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...

You're hardcore... You even bought AUI, which I always found utterly tedious

Edit-
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

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.

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
