Source: Amiga Power – Issue Number 10 – January 1992 



Amiga Power is an Amiga specific gaming magazine that was published in the U.K. in the early 1990s. The January 1992 issue includes:

  • True Stories – New games – Eye of the Beholder 2 and John Madden American Football amongst others – and loads more, including five Bug joysticks to win and all your ‘favorite’ regulars. Plus! We ask the burning question – what’ll be the Christmas Number One?
  • The Charts – Going up, coming down and all that jazz – will Lotus 2 cruise straight into the top slot, or what?
  • Complete Control – Britain’s favorite Amiga tips section really kicks into gear, with giant Blues Brothers maps, Cruise For a Corpse – the solution, and the complete Amiga Power guide to Rodland…
  • Games of the Year – Coups in Russia, civil war in Yugoslavia, Maggie ‘graciously’ bows out, and Amiga Power is born – that was 1991 for you. it was also a year when plenty of ground breaking new games were released – not to mention a whole host of stinkers. We pick through the rubble for our personal favorites…
  • Definition of Sound – Continuing our new series of Buyer’s Guides. This month: football games, a field dominated by two small words…
  • Win! Five Remote Control Planes! – AP teams up with EA to bring you a Birds Of Prey compo – if we can keep our hands off the prizes, that is…
  • Do The Write Thing – Your letters, now a giant three pages long (special bonus size), and featuring Stuart N. Hardy’s brother, Paul!
  • The Bottom Line – Bigger, better, brighter, more!
  • Second Opinion – Domark’s John Kavanagh, the man behind MiG-29 and… STUN Runner!
  • Magic And Mystery Tour – A new age of FRP games is upon us. Eye of the Beholder showed the way, but the best – Beholder 2, Ultima VI – is just around the corner. Mark Ramshaw investigates.
  • Darlings! – The lovable computer whiz kids are still with us – and selling more games (and making more money!) than ever. What? You want games with puzzles and character – and at a cheap price? You don’t care too much for fancy parallax scrolling – or scrolling at all, even – if decent gameplay is there? Then who you gonna call? (Code Masters!)
