Damn I miss the Amiga.
I used to get Amiga Power because it was the more funnier mag.
At the release of the A600 I was using an A2000. I ended up with an A1200 and an A4000 and a CD32.
I miss them all
I remember those days, but I don't think I bought that magazine. I tended to get Amiga User.
The A600 was a cut down version of the A1200 (that I had). I was not a huge gamer, but had a few that I played a lot.
I remember I saw some discs from 1990-2000 in the music museum. And it was like a time travel :)
