Amiga Point of View was created by various Amiga enthusiasts on the
English Amiga Board. The magazine
most resembles Amiga Power's comedic approach and contains game reviews,
PD games roundup, cheats, articles and a letters page. The back page
is again similar to Amiga Power in that it pokes fun at anything!
