So many memories. Found a fat stack of old Amiga and Commodore magazines.

Used to read Compute's Gazette and Amigaworld.

Got a few AW issues too and Gazette sounds familiar but I can't find any in my pile. I had gotten my hands on a few European Amiga magazines and they were great.
Still .info was always my favorite.

Compute's Gazette might have been more Commodore 64/128 now that I think about it.
Those magazine pics bring back memories. Thanks for sharing friend!

I had to search the name and now I remember they had the games code written in the back of their magazines. Like if you typed in the assembly code, you could get free games and applications. FUCK I remember typing in pages and pages and pages of some paint program for the 128D and I don't ever think I finished it.

These youngsters don't know how good they have it with their GitHub and their App Store. :)

That .info magazine was the very first Amiga magazine I ever bought. I can't believe I still have them, quite honestly.
There were about 50 other .info, Amazing Amiga, Compute and other magazines from the late 80s and into the 90s.

Love .info, Compute's and RUN. Amazing Computing/Amiga and AmigaWorld were my faves.

Questions!
Are hard drives obselete? What could you do online with your Amiga in 1990? Can the Amiga survive overseas?

Noice!! Would love to go through those. I remember being a teen in the sticks of kansas in 88 with our amiga. And these mags(and amiga world) were our lifelines to the rest of the world! Ahem, while playing dungeon master and f/a-18 interceptor.....
Great games those were
Technology was the only escape back in the day (who am I kidding, it still is even today), so I used to dream about owning an Amiga because at the time I only had a Commodore 128D. I finally saved and saved and bought a used A500 only for the thing to crap out on me not long after. Didn't have the money to repair it, so I just left it with the repair shop.
