My pleasure. Nice to know others are still getting a kick out of reliving the wonderous world of AP.
The off-the-wall content-padding that made it to press towards the end still cracks me up. It's hard to tell if the writers were fulfilling contractual obligations to deliver x number of pages until the mag's inevitable demise, or they truly believed they could turn AP into a general entertainment publication with some sporadic Amiga features.
As bona fide Amiga content dwindled, complaint letters flooded the feedback pages... as if AP staff had any control over the volume of new game releases and news. Bizarre times! I can't imagine the same thing happening today, say, if Microsoft went bust and developers/publishers abandoned the Xbox en masse. Surely Future Publishing or whoever would pull the plug and pay the staff redundancy settlements.
