Source: Computer & Video Game Magazines – Amiga Plus – Volume 2, Issue 5 – December January 1991
Amiga Plus (or Amiga+) was a magazine dedicated to the Amiga published by the same people as Antic, one of the two big Atari 8-bit magazines. Amiga Plus was only published between 1989 and 1990 so it didn’t last very long. The December 1990 (and I believe final) issue includes:
