Love it or hate it, the CD32 has a key place in Amiga history. In this 30th anniversary year, Amiga Addict takes a look at the history behind the console, and opinions good and bad from various industry figures of the day.

The wheels never stop turning at Amiga Addict!
As the magazine moves into its fourth year, we have one of our most important cover features so far, as we look into the legendary software archive, Aminet. If you've been online with the Amiga at all (or thanks to the CDs, even if you haven't), you've definitely been to Aminet. Founder Urban Müller tells us all about how the site came about and the challenges it faced to become, at one time, the largest software archive on the internet - on any format! Also in Issue 26:

In Issue 27 of Amiga Addict, we revisit another classic game. This time we're taking a look at Wolfchild, the classic shapeshifting platformer by Rick Dangerous creator Simon Phipps. We talk to Simon about the development process and look behind the scenes at how it came about. And Simon has kindly employed his artistic skills to bring us another fantastic cover!

I saw issue #24 at the newsagent the other day. Having not seen an Amiga magazine at retail for over 20 years (excepting a Retro Gamer special or two), I had to buy it of course :-)
Overall it's very good, just a couple of small annoyances: (1) Tenebrae 1 & 2 are ugly monochrome stuff yet were awarded 70% for graphics?! So 2-colour graphics are considered to be above average on an Amiga!? I am struggling to imagine what kind of graphics anyone could make that would be bad enough to score 69% or less under such circumstances, maybe just a blank screen? I get that you are trying to encourage more games development, but I don't think overrating games is the way to do it. It would never have scored 70% for graphics back in the day, and things have only advanced since then. (2) TF330 review has no prices, ratings etc. Last edited by Minuous; 09 February 2024 at 09:01. |

With regards to the TF330 article - that was more of a retrospective piece rather than a review so we decided not to include scores etc that time. Bit of an editorial decision. As for the Tenebra games - I reviewed those games and I scored the graphics based on how appropriate they were for the game and the atmosphere they were trying to generate - in a game focussed on light and dark, this was definitely the right way to go. There's plenty of highly rated monochrome games even on modern platforms, I feel we've moved past "you must have lots of colours to have good graphics". Obviously every review is subjective and down to the reviewer's opinion (which just happens to be mine this time). Hopefully I provided enough information for you to determine if you agree, but be assured I am happy to rate down where appropriate (and have!). |

I see. I am not a close follower of the third-party CD32 hardware scene and the word "Testbench" implies a review; I just assumed it was a new product since there is nothing in the article to suggest otherwise.

This issue we turned our magazine upside down (or on its side anyway) in an effort to celebrate some of the best games and developers from our neighbours in mainland Europe! This issue we're looking at The French Connection (no, not the film) with interviews with some luminaries en France like Éric Chahi of Another World fame and François Lionet, creator of AMOS.
