Amiga Dream
Amiga Dream was a monthly French-language computer publication launched in November 1993 by Posse Press in Paris, created by former Amiga Revue staff including Romain Canonge and Christine Robert. Originally dedicated solely to the Commodore Amiga platform—especially the CD32 model—it quickly distinguished itself as the first French Amiga magazine to include a bundled floppy disk in each issue, featuring demos, freeware, shareware, and trial versions of commercial software

.
Early issues combined news, game and hardware reviews, software tutorials, and coverage of the growing Amiga demo scene, complete with commentary and visuals often more playful and creative than typical publications. A distinctive mascot, “Dreamette,” appeared in the early format as a charming editorial figure before evolving into other personalities in later issues.
As Commodore's fortunes declined, the magazine broadened its scope. It rebranded as Dream in 1999, gradually covering alternative platforms like Atari-compatible systems, BeOS, Linux, and RISC OS. In October 2005, it was renamed Login: and transitioned to focus primarily on programming and open-source technologies, finally ceasing publication that month.
Amiga Dream is remembered for its clarity, professional layout, generous cover disks, multimedia content, and transition from Amiga culture into broader open-source computing—a key voice in the “alternatique” publishing scene in France.
