Amiga Computing

Amiga Computing was a leading UK-based magazine dedicated to the Commodore Amiga computer range, published monthly from 1988 to 1997. Known for its broad appeal, the magazine catered to both home users and professionals by covering a wide range of topics—from gaming and graphics to productivity software, hardware upgrades, and programming tutorials. Its approachable tone and rich content helped establish it as one of the most respected Amiga publications during the platform’s prime.

Each issue of *Amiga Computing* featured in-depth reviews of commercial software and hardware, hands-on guides for using applications like Deluxe Paint, Wordworth, or Scala, and regular columns focused on desktop publishing, 3D graphics, and music production. The magazine also published reader-submitted utilities, news about the demo scene, and tutorials in AMOS, ARexx, or assembly language. Later issues increasingly covered internet connectivity, emulation, and cross-platform tools as the Amiga's market presence declined.

A hallmark of the magazine was its cover-mounted floppy disks—later CD-ROMs—containing demos, full utilities, and occasionally commercial games. This added significant value for readers and helped software gain exposure.

Even after Commodore’s demise in 1994, Amiga Computing continued to support the community until 1997, documenting the platform’s creative legacy and its users’ enduring enthusiasm.
