| Welcome to the Amiga Magazine Rack! |
 |
The Amiga Magazine Rack was launched in early 2007 after more than 2 years of development. The website you see today grew from 3 independent coverdisk and review indexes independently compiled by members of the Hall of Light team.
The site has close ties with the Hall of Light games database, with extensive cross-linking between the two sites. As a result, the current focus of the Amiga Magazine Rack is games, although application/hardware reviews and serious articles will be indexed in the fullness of time.
The Amiga Magazine Rack is backed by a large review database which is linked to tens of thousands of scanned pages.
The team wishes to thank RCK for making all of this possible - without his offer to host the site the project would not have come into existence.
If you wish to contribute to the project read the information below or contact one of the team members. |

Complete scans are now online. On the games front, Trained Assassin received the highest mark this month with a score of 95%. At the other end of the spectrum, Amiga Computing were not afraid to dish out the dirt and gave S.T.A.G. a lowly 11%.
The text editor TR TextEd faired even worse, gaining just 7%!

13 September 2012 - All page scans from The One Amiga issue 87 are now online!
By the time the Maverick editions of The One came out, the magazine was a sad version of itself. The reviews were expanded out to a huge number of pages (every game had at least a 6 page review!) with Coala coming in at a whopping 8 pages!
Even the cheat section looked as if the editor said "find anything that you can make a large map of and put that in" as evidenced by 8 pages of maps for Winter Supersports 92!

16 April 2012 - All editorial content from The One issue 1 now online!
All editorial content from The One issue 1 are now available for your viewing pleasure. Back in October 1988, the Atari ST had a lot more releases than the mighty Amiga, and only 5 Amiga games were reviewed.
The Amiga game Starglider 2 received the equal highest score this issue with 89%, jointly shared with the game Federation of Free Traders on the ST. Within a few months, major bugs were found in the game, and FOFT was given harsh reviews in other magazines.
