Time for a truce

AMIGA OWNERS WERE SPOILT FOR CHOICE WHEN IT CAME TO MAGAZINES DEDICATED TO THEIR PLATFORM. STANDING OUT AMONG THESE WAS THE MUCH-LOVED AMIGA POWER. FORMER EDITOR CAM WINSTANLEY TAKES US BACK THROUGH THE RAUCOUS MAGAZINE SCENE OF THE TIME

FOUR DECADES ON, THE DEDICATED AMIGA SCENE IS BUZZING. IN THE UK AND INTERNATIONALLY, THERE ARE EVENTS, COMMUNITY USER GROUPS, NEW GAMES AND HARDWARE, WEBSITES AND MAGAZINES KEEPING THE DREAM ALIVE. THE PASSION AND INNOVATION SURROUNDING THE PLATFORM SHOW NO SIGNS OF WANING

THE AMIGA HOLDS A SPECIAL PLACE IN THE HEART OF GAMES DEVELOPERS AS WELL AS PLAYERS. WE ASKED THE PEOPLE BEHIND A VARIETY OF CLASSIC AMIGA GAMES TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS ON THE PLATFORM, AND WHAT IT MEANS TO THEM 40 YEARS ON

IN 1985, COMMODORE LAUNCHED A POWERHOUSE 16-BIT COMPUTER PLATFORM THAT WAS AHEAD OF ITS TIME, AND HOSTED MANY ALL-TIME CLASSIC GAMES. FORTY YEARS ON, WE SPEAK TO DEVELOPERS AND FANS TO CELEBRATE A FAMILY OF COMPUTERS THAT HAS BECOME SIMPLY TIMELESS

I refuse to believe it was 40 years ago ...
