I’m sure they’ll be when to increase the page count if they get more people advertising and contributing. There’s content in the magazine you can’t find online. You should give it a try. |

I considered buying/subscribing when it still needed preorders but decided against it. I've been teetering on buying it for a while so I know I'll probably pounce soon enough |

I think the number of pages is perfect. If the mag takes off I would like to see the bigger style pages we got on the old mags with some beautiful screen shot layouts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To Amiga Addict Magazine: Also please add a regular CD32 section and I will forgive you for this troll Last edited by Gilbert; 31 December 2020 at 22:39. |

for a cd32 mag like back in the days with Amiga Format, CD32 have news extensions card and more possibilities, could add tutorials for share experience. the funny thing, AF was under Future publishing, i french and i have worked in french PC magazine with this group in 2008 lol ! |

It's great to see a CD32 fan from France. Salut! Were there many CD32 owners out there?
I only had the free CD32 supplement mag that came with Amiga Format but have recently been reading CD32 Gamer Magazine scans on line. It looks very good! I want to buy them to read - but they are hard to find Amiga Format was my favourite Amiga mag back in the day. Also used to read The One, but preferred it's earlier more glossy days |

I used to love listening to cover disc audio tracks in my portable CD Walkman. Lamburgini Challenge was my favorite. I think the bump and burn track. back on topic. Any one know if next issue is available for pre-order? |

@Gilbert, yes, I think I the number one fan of CD32 in France, I support these console the best I can, follow innovations, make tutorial (in French for now) and have a small channel YouTube where I have most of video about CD32 :
https://www.youtube.com/user/MrThairacer/videos it's a lot of fun really, yes there is some CD32 owners here,UK was number one but france sold not bad despite the wrong marketing choices of C= . and Whsmith in Paris was my headquarters for keep my UK magazines, so good old times !! , we had also "Amiga Dream" who supported the CD32 long time after bankrupt . |

First impressions are very good. As others have mentioned the nimble page count is forgiven by the high quality of the paper used, and the content is weighted heavily in favour of articles over advertising. I think areas for improvement are the covers, and I would like to see if the magazine grows for the page count to increase and the possibility of a Cover CD like they do with Amiga Future. Perhaps someone could get hold of Neil Bothwick? ;-)

Nice to see some competition in the magazine world. I fondly remember waiting for those UK Amiga magazines to show up in the news stand. That's how I learned english after all
Did anyone have any trouble receiving it because of the whole Brexit/COVID and whatnot? Got many packages lost in limbo in the latest months. |

I will have to see if I can find any scans for Amiga Dream online. Will be interesting to see what it was like. With Google Lens is easy to translate text in place on a page too. Quote:
Really like the magazine so far. My only criticism is the 2 longer interviews with Dave Hayne and the guy from Cloanata didn't seem that readable in places. Maybe it was just me, but thought they could have been edited down a bit more. I enjoyed both of them still, but just some parts I was tuning out on. Really good for a first issue though. |

I got the first issue out of curiosity and was blown away by the quality, obviously a lot of passion has gone it's creation and hopefully it's very successful.
I was rather pleased when my partner asked what I was reading and out of the blue offered me a full year subscription, although I understand when you subscribe it starts from the current issue, so would be cool if you allowed those who are trialing the magazine for the first time the option to subscribe from the next issue, rather than waiting for it's publication and perhaps forgetting about it. |

One small thing I would like to add. It would be nice to see the authors name against each article. |

We tend to put the author's name in the byline at the top, especially for reviews. But we're changing this as we go (in fact we were discussing it a few minutes ago!)
