Amiga Power (January 1992)



Amiga Power (January 1992)

Amiga Power is an Amiga specific gaming magazine that was published in the U.K. in the early 1990s. The January 1992 issue includes:

  • True Stories - New games - Eye of the Beholder 2 and John Madden American Football amongst others - and loads more, including five Bug joysticks to win and all your 'favorite' regulars. Plus! We ask the burning question - what'll be the Christmas Number One?

  • The Charts - Going up, coming down and all that jazz - will Lotus 2 cruise straight into the top slot, or what?

  • Complete Control - Britain's favorite Amiga tips section really kicks into gear, with giant Blues Brothers maps, Cruise For a Corpse - the solution, and the complete Amiga Power guide to Rodland...

  • Games of the Year - Coups in Russia, civil war in Yugoslavia, Maggie 'graciously' bows out, and Amiga Power is born - that was 1991 for you. it was also a year when plenty of ground breaking new games were released - not to mention a whole host of stinkers. We pick through the rubble for our personal favorites...

  • Definition of Sound - Continuing our new series of Buyer's Guides. This month: football games, a field dominated by two small words...

  • Win! Five Remote Control Planes! - AP teams up with EA to bring you a Birds Of Prey compo - if we can keep our hands off the prizes, that is...

  • Do The Write Thing - Your letters, now a giant three pages long (special bonus size), and featuring Stuart N. Hardy's brother, Paul!

  • The Bottom Line - Bigger, better, brighter, more!

  • Second Opinion - Domark's John Kavanagh, the man behind MiG-29 and... STUN Runner!

  • Magic And Mystery Tour - A new age of FRP games is upon us. Eye of the Beholder showed the way, but the best - Beholder 2, Ultima VI - is just around the corner. Mark Ramshaw investigates.

  • Darlings! - The lovable computer whiz kids are still with us - and selling more games (and making more money!) than ever. What? You want games with puzzles and character - and at a cheap price? You don't care too much for fancy parallax scrolling - or scrolling at all, even - if decent gameplay is there? Then who you gonna call? (Code Masters!)

  • Games of the Month
    • Smash TV - Total Carnage - we love it! Well, we did in the arcades...
    • Birds of Prey - Blimey! 40 - r0! - birds in one game!
    • Battle Isle - Wargames get friendly (stranger things happen at sea...)
    • Celtic Legends - Hex-based strategy meets Chaos
    • Bonanza Bros - What, a Sega game with character?
    • Moonstone - It's a first! The innovative gore on/gore off option(!)
    • Oh No! More Lemmings! - The name says it all really...
    • Realms - And suddenly, out of the blue, Powermonger gets a rival...
    • Fuzzball - Furry, fun and - wow! - look at the speed blurs on that...!
    • Barbarian 2 - Or, gameplay-by-numbers if you're feeling cynical!
    • Knightmare - Captive Pt2 - but aimed at 8-year olds? We have our doubts...



...and more!
