The biggest reader backlash in Amiga Power's history was due to reviewing the unfinished game Sensible World Of Soccer in AP44. It was awarded 95% and declared "The best Amiga game ever."
A flood of complaints rolled in regarding bugs in the game. AP came clean regarding the review and invited Sensible Software to address the complaints. Chris Chapman and Jon Hare answered the criticisms, which Stuart Campbell in his role as Sensible's Development manager assembled into an amusing column called "Swiz" in AP48 on pages 24-26.
It was unfortunate that the answers were made funny as they left Sensible Software looking arrogant, with a majority of the responses along the lines of "we had to rush it out to cash in on the Christmas market" or abusing the original reader. |
