Do you remember those good, old printed Amiga magazines? Did you use to spend time reading CU Amiga, The One, Amiga Action or Amiga Format?
If yes, then I’ve got some good news for you! Those nice blokes at the Amiga Magazine Rack have, with help from contributors, made many of these classic magazines available Online.
The website was launched back in 2007 after more than two years of development. It has close ties with the Hall of Light (HOL) games database and there is a lot of cross-linking between the two of them. This has, according to the team, resulted in a bigger focus on the gaming aspect of the magazines. That’s good news for old-school gamers.
You’ll find all kinds of Amiga magazines on their website, from The Joker from Germany to Amiga Magazyn from Poland. The big ones (Amiga Power, CU Amiga etc) are of course present.
I think the Amiga Magazine Rack is a great website and I highly recommend visiting it. Have fun reading old reviews, rumours and feel the atmosphere of the good, old days!

Superb! If there is one thing I miss it would be the magazines. Of course today we can get it all online but back in the day the magazine was the only source of info. Really miss it. I am afraid I am going to be reading a lot of mags now. 🙂

There need to be more sites like this – I used to grab C&VG back in the day as it covered a lot of what I was interested in. There used to be some great publications coming out from the UK in the late-80s and into the 90s. Good memories!

I remember the cover being different. Hmm maybe it was a different mag. It for sure was a UK one. I should have the cover disc somewhere so I might do a search to find it.

Hi Coder,
Have you managed to find the coverdisk or found out which magazine it was?

I still need to look for it. I think I will dig through the boxes this weekend to look for it. Amazing how difficult it is to find just a little bit of time to do things. I blame work. 🙂
