A super-lovely Amiga Power thank you to: The three people who took out subscriptions before we'd even started adverising the magazine; Jamie Hewlett & Amiga Baby (gone but not forgotten). No thanks at all to: Bob Wade & Amiga Shopper team (who made launching a new mag look so bloody easy).

Good luck to: Julie Stukes, Sally Meddings, Helen Carey & everybody else who's in the same boat. You've only got yourselves to blame!

TRUE STORIES
News, gossip, interviews, compos, and the Gallup charts. If it's happening in Amiga games it's happening in true Stories...

JUST WHO THE HELL DO WE THINK WE ARE? (WELL...)

COMPLETE CONTROL
Page after page of hints and tips to give you Complete Control over your games. This month, overdose on the biggest, bestest Player's Guide to Rainbow Islands you've ever seen.

WHAT GAME DO YOU REALLY WISH YOU'D WRITTEN? (AND WHY?)

RENEGADE & THE BITMAPS - WHAT NOW (AND WHAT NEXT?)

BIRDS OF PREY - FOUR YEARS IN THE MAKING!

WIN! THE AMIGA POWER ALL-TIME TOP 100 GAMES

THE BOTTOM LINE
Amiga Power's unique reference guide - six pages packed to overflowing with mini-reviews of
every significant full price Amiga game released over the past year. Classics, turkeys and in-betweenies (lots of in-betweenies) - you'll find them all here!

IF I'D KNOWN THEN...
Our regular back page feature, when famous industry types look back on their past work and admit where they went wrong. This month, Peter Molyneux of Bullfrog talks about Flood, Powermonger, and this little thing called Populous...

GAMES OF THE MONTH

Not necessarily the best games of the month (in terms of whether they've got the highest marks or not) but certainly the most interesting. Amiga Power's flexible reviewing system allows everything the space it needs, be it two pages on a simple (but nonetheless jolly good) arcade romp like Chuck Rock, or up to five (!) on something a bit more complicated.
