Source: Ahoy!’s AmigaUser – Issue Number 1 – May 1988
Ahoy! was originally a Commodore 8-bit magazine, mostly covering the Commodore 64. Later it also covered the Amiga. It got a little schizophrenic then and for a number of months Ahoy! and Ahoy!’s AmigaUser (which also covered the Commodore 64 at first) were published alternately. This first issue of Ahoy!’s AmigaUser from May 1988 includes:
Departments
- A View from the Bridge – A welcome from the crew as we begin our maiden voyage. Adventure awaits!
- Scuttlebutt – New and upcoming hardware and software for the Amiga.
- Flotsam – Through the miracle of modern technology, letters in our premier issue.
- Entertainment Software Section – No need to go game hunting – here are the best two dozen to date.
- Art Gallery – It’s frame and fortune (well, a free sub) for this month’s contributors.
- Reviews – Our experts turn some recent releases inside out.
- C-64/128 Section – To tide 8-bit users over until the June Ahoy!
Columns
- Amiga Toolbox – A nuts and bolts approach to making your Amiga work for you.
- Eye on CLI – Take charge of your Amiga’s Command Line Interface.
- EXEC File – The sexiest software for the small businessman (and the tall businessman).

…and more!
