The End! + Total Amiga + Amigaville issue 4 released!


Guess what Italian (also translated to English) fanzine --- or simply mag about classic computing --- this is a screen dump from? =>click at this link and read issue 47 or 48 in English or Italian if you want to check your answers<= And finally guess what game that is reviewed by the Italian editor?


Why is Total Amiga closing?

After over 8 years working on the magazine Total Amiga's editor, Robert Williams, has decided to step down. No one else within SEAL was able to take over the editorship so we explored a number of possible ways to continue Total Amiga, We decided the best solution was to close the magazine and transfer existing subscribers to a new English edition of Amiga Future.


Is the closure of Total Amiga due to financial problems or the state of the Amiga market?


No, Total Amiga is financially stable and has a strong subscriber base. The closure was brought about by the personal decision of the editor.

Corrections & Additional Information

TuneNet Review - Page 43
Discussion with the author of TuneNet has revealed that the poor sound quality observed by Sean (the author of the review) and confirmed by Robert (the editor) was actually caused by configuration settings rather than by any problem with TuneNet itself. If you experience poor quality playback from TuneNet be sure to check that you are using a "HiFi 16 bit stereo++" audio mode for your AHI music unit and that the same mode is selected in TuneNet preferences.
Poseidon 3 Review - Page 36
After this issue went to the printers version 3.3 of Poseidon was released by its author. This version includes a new driver for USB MIDI devices which supports the CAMD standard and fixes some of the installation glitches we reported. Download the new version from the Poseidon web site.

This month, the magazine brings interesting articles like “Should Hyperion port to x86?” and “Whatever happened to Amiga Anywhere?” which for sure will heat up the discussion about the future of the Amiga OS, copyrights and other subjects that have been surfacing recently. The game review section is also not too shabby, including my one of my all-time favourite Prince of Persia, Deluxe Galaga, and Castlevania.
