Ahoy!’s AmigaUser (May 1988)




Ahoy!’s AmigaUser (May 1988)



Ahoy! was originally a Commodore 8-bit magazine, mostly covering the Commodore 64. Later it also covered the Amiga. It got a little schizophrenic then and for a number of months Ahoy! and Ahoy!'s AmigaUser (which also covered the Commodore 64 at first) were published alternately. This first issue of Ahoy!'s AmigaUser from May 1988 includes:

Departments

  • A View from the Bridge - A welcome from the crew as we begin our maiden voyage. Adventure awaits!
  • Scuttlebutt - New and upcoming hardware and software for the Amiga.
  • Flotsam - Through the miracle of modern technology, letters in our premier issue.
  • Entertainment Software Section - No need to go game hunting - here are the best two dozen to date.
  • Art Gallery - It's frame and fortune (well, a free sub) for this month's contributors.
  • Reviews - Our experts turn some recent releases inside out.
  • C-64/128 Section - To tide 8-bit users over until the June Ahoy!

Columns

  • Amiga Toolbox - A nuts and bolts approach to making your Amiga work for you.
  • Eye on CLI - Take charge of your Amiga's Command Line Interface.
  • EXEC File - The sexiest software for the small businessman (and the tall businessman).

Features

  • Matrix Pattern - Easy creation of area fill patterns, with automatic data line creation.
  • Sounds Like...Amiga - All you need for a sound understanding of Amiga sound sampling.
  • AmigaUserTerm - Reach out and telecommunicate with someone with this terminal program.
  • A Hard Look at Hard Copy - You can make book on these mini-reviews of several dozen Amiga volumes.

...and more!
