Hi,

is there any printed Amiga magazine still active?

Probably not, but I still had to ask

Yes - Amiga Future (which is printed in English and German) is released bi-monthly, and I recommend it because I'm biased (I write for it)

I always assumed it was in German. What kind of focus does it take, is it more for the current "amiga" stuff like OS4 etc or is it more towards retro? Much gaming discussed?

Whatever's out there really. You'll find plenty of OS4/MorphOS coverage but software and hardware for classic Amigas get discussed in plenty of detail too. It's pot luck on what gets released as to the balance of things in the mag, usually. I review any new stuff that works on my A1200 (predominately games but not always).

Just this issue I've got two new game reviews in there - in addition, there's a review of an older game, plus two or three more serious programs... all for classic Amigas. There's plenty of newer stuff in there also of course but the balance is pretty good.

I never realised that. I have been getting it ever since the UK amiga magazine Total Amiga was stopped by the editor after several years of being published (worldwide) quarterly.
The only thing better in Amiga Future than Total Amiga, is the fact you get a CD packed with Amiga software every issue
