I love amiga stuff but what is the point of this kind of thing where everything covered in it is already found online immediately in our inboxes and feeds?

I personally enjoy real magazines, if only for the smell of the paper. Don’t judge me, but it is the first thing I do when I get a new copy of Retro Gamer in the post. I will be doing this with my copy of Amiga Addict.

Haha! Maybe in week one of the internet's life you could compile the whole thing in a ringbinder. That would be the perfect geek novelty Christmas gift. I wonder if you could tap the records and do it accurately. Hmm...

I just went for a 6 month subscription. A bit disappointed with the first front cover. I was hoping for some Amiga game graphics. Something more impactful and exciting. I'm sure that guy taking up the space is important but he's just a guy to look at.

I subscribed to this magazine as soon as I heard.
I really want proper game reviews. A lot of the time new homebrew games get inflated marks because everyone knows each other. 5/10 or 50% should be the average score Quote:

I ordered a physical copy but I just got my download link. Going to wait for the magazine I think. More enjoyable to read it fresh

I've seen a lot. I think it's natural for a lot of people to look more favourably on new homebrew games espceially if they have been watching their creation. I read Retro Gamer magazine and I remember a Spectrum homebrew Schmup got 97%. In the same issue one of my favourite schmups (also homebrew but by a more professional company) got approx 70%. I have never heard of the Spectrum game since and it looked fairly simple That's fairly standard. someone will write a version of Centipede for the MSX and the review will say "collision detection is not perfect) and it will still get 70%. It's not just Retrogamer though, it's most places. Last edited by Gilbert; 17 December 2020 at 21:23. |
