Amiga magazines
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.

I did
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!

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 |

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

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

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... http://www.amiga-stuff.com/pd/lsd-legaltools.html |
