How many people managed to get there name in a Amiga magazine, I remember in the last issue of Amiga format, i managed to get a cheat for UFO, oh did it bring a tear to my eye when the magazine finished, though i had been without and amiga months before, I think i had a playstation, can't remember exactly.

Computer and Video Games, (C&VG), the issue with International Tennis for the C64 in... at least thats what I think it was called; you have these stick men figures with triangle heads. It was a list of all the secret rooms I'd found in Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap for the SMS, but the cads not only cut many of the rooms out of my list, they misprinted it and one of the rooms details was cut off mid-sentance! My small moment of fame, ruined!

Wasn't Stuart N. Hardy really Cody?

Dastardly · 20 April 2003, 13:32

I once sent in a cheat to C+VG that I figured out for myself on C64 Robocop. The ignorant barrstads just ignored my letter though.

Crap mag anyway. :-P

I got a mention in the readers section of AF, It was a drawing I had done, and also they mentioned my own swoseditor

ElectroBlaster · 21 April 2003, 04:44

I got into one of the last amiga formats... i had a small problem with netconnect on my 1200! it would sometimes pack up and i couldnt get on the net!

Was that The Experiment in the shareware section?

ant512 · 28 April 2003, 17:59

Yep. Have you been looking in the HOL?

CodyJarrett · 28 April 2003, 18:17

No, I remember it from the issue. [Wipes a tear for the departure of Amiga Power].

Here's the HOL DBS and link:

I noticed this game was available from F1 Licenceware!
Did you know Steve? the guy that ran it years ago?

Galahad/FLT · 28 April 2003, 19:15

I had several things published on Amiga Format Coverdisks, which The Bitmap Brothers were none too pleased about!

wakeupbomb · 28 April 2003, 20:44

I got a cheat for Big Red Adventure printed in an issue of CU Amiga... i forget which one.
Groovy though

Steve Bye? We exchanged a few letters with him after we sent him the game, and when we were trying to put together a GRAC User Disk 2. It was all very jolly until he had to sell F1 due to personal issues, a lack of money and the death of the Amiga market. Seemed a nice enough chap though. He sent us a whole £30 in royalties, and (unfortunately) I've still got the cheque here somewhere...

ElectroBlaster · 30 April 2003, 01:13

I knew the guy personally! he divorced his wife and sold the F1 name to some guy in the states!

Before he up-sticks i bought the last of his stuff... all he had was 1 a1200 and an old pc

man it brings back some memories! steve had a few games shops years ago... he got pretty big at one point and then it all went pete tong!

wonder where he his now?

dirkies · 26 May 2003, 03:37

had my name in C+VG for the Cybernoid2 cheat (necronomicon, found that string while peeking in the A500 memory with a disassembler)

other cheats were never published

had my name in CU when they made a utilities top 100, ended at place 17 AFAIK with my disk compression tool DiskSqueeze

AmiGer · 26 May 2003, 08:37

I've programed DeluxeChanger on Fred Fish 439. I remember that my name has appeared in some german magazines... maybe in other countries, too... Can anybody look at these old magazines and can send me a scan, please... ?

Very interesting, my tool was in a tool collection...
