The One (October 1992)



The One (October 1992)



The One was a gaming magazine that covered multiple "16-bit" platforms. Eventually, it became exclusive to the Amiga (like in this October 1992 issue). This issue includes:

  • News - US Gold release the first Amiga screenshots of Streetfighter 2 and Anco prepare for Kick Off 3's, er, kick off. PLUS news on Dune 2, Sensible Soccer V1.1 and Gunship 2000!

  • Letters - It's payback time! The One's readers load both barrels and let rip!

  • The End! - No, don't get worried - it's just a feature about end-game sequences, where we reveal the rhyme and reason behind some of the recent past's more memorable examples. Phew!

  • Work In Progress - The Bitmaps finally take the wraps off their Chaos Engine, US Gold invite you to participate in its Legends of Valor and David Braben ponders on the future in the final leg of our massive Elite 2 saga.

  • Win A Multimedia Amiga!

  • Reviews - Look yonder for the full run-down of this month's goodies but suffice to say that they're hot, hot hot!

  • Kill Zone - No longer detachable, but still a damn fine read.

  • Cheapos! - Got some loose change burning a hole in yer pocket? Then cast your eyes over these offerings...

  • Diary of A Game - Braybrook's back - and he's baaad!

  • PD Zone - Cheaper than Cheapos, there's some right little crackers on offer this month, including a brilliant Donkey Kong clone!

  • Compo - It's time to think about the future, and that's why Psygnosis are offering this superb Amiga CDTV complete with add-on keyboard and floppy drive as the prize in their great Beast 3 compo!

  • Putty - Something like four centuries in the making, System 3 finally launch the game starring their perfectly pliable platform hero. And - hooray! - it's a right hoot!

  • Kill Zone - You may not be able to pull it out this month, but you still can't beat it. Some of the best tips this side of Spatula VI, planet of the tipsters. Highlights include a Dune guide, Lure of the Temptress hints and tips and the start of our Eye of the Beholder 2 complete solution. Plus the shock departure of Dr. Upchurch from the Surgery!

  • Previews - Gary Whitta shows you what's coming your way in the future - and you don't even have to cross his palm with silver!

  • Games Index - It's big, it's beautiful and it's totally invaluable to the beleaguered software hunter. Yes, the cream of the releases from the last eight months or so is here for your perusal.

  • Legends of Valor - US Gold is saying that this'll be the ultimate RPG of all time. An the interesting thing is it looks like they just might be right!

...and more!
