| 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. |

30 April 2008 - Amiga Computing US Editions
Thanks to Mort, we can now present the first of several issues of Amiga Computing US Edition. The magazine was a version created specifically for the US population and contained 100 pages instead of closer to 200 for the UK version. Most game reviews were simply copied, so the price was in pounds! The news sections and advertisements were significantly different.
Issue 1 came out in June 1995 and 4 titles received Amiga Computing platinum awards for gaining 90% or higher: Shadow Fighter CD32, Manchester United: The Double, Speedball 2 CD32 and Stardust.

23 December 2007 - Exceptionally ace Christmas update
The Amiga Magazine Rack team would like to wish everyone a fabulous Christmas 2007.
To celebrate we've prepared a large update as our Christmas present to you all.
In this update you'll find review, cheat and preview scans plus most articles from the last 29 issues of ACE: Advanced Computer Entertainment (issues 27-55). The issues cover the period 1990-1992 and reviews of many fine games are included.
Later issues of ACE prided themselves on reviewing only a handful of games each issue, but giving those games lavish 6 page reviews.

Amiga Power All-Time Top 100 Games
The Amiga Power All-Time Top 100 Games was an annual event where the team put forward their favourite Amiga games. Often causing debate in the letters pages, most notably around Rainbow Island's number one position for two years, the lists do provide a decent summary of many of the Amiga's top games.
As with any personal lists they show peculiarities in the team's tastes over the magazines life especially with reviewers who didn't like Kick Off 2!
Check out the Amiga Power Top 100:
All years, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
