Thanks this issue to: Cliff Ramshaw for work on the cover disk, Maff Evans for helping Mark out with Monkey Island, Eric Matthews for the Gods tips, Katrina Windows for having such a great name and, erm, that's about it.

TRUE STORIES
Whatever happened to the Amiga cartridge? What the devil are The Blues Brothers doing in this magazine? And what on earth are the Bitmaps doing next? All the Amiga games news worth reading - plus Crib Sheets, Oh Dear..., Rock Hard Quiz, Essential Games and - yes! - the chance to win your own mini TV!

THE CHARTS
What's going up, what's coming down, and what's hanging about in the middle somewhere - that Gallup Chart rundown in full.

COMPLETE CONTROL
11 (!) pages of hints and tips, make Complete Control the biggest Amiga tips section of all! This month: massive Gods maps, a giant Prince Of Persia guide, finding your way around Monkey Island and more!

THE ULTIMATE AUTUMN GAME GUIDE
Here's the cure to the summertime blues - 11 pages of special previews of this Autumn's biggest games. It's The Simpsons versus The Godfather, Hulk Hogan versus Robin Hood, and it all starts on page 49.

IF WE'D KNOWN THEN...
The Assembly Line have been responsible for some of the strangest - and most original - Amiga games ever written. But what do they think of their old games now?

ZEN AND THE ART OF FILM CONVERSIONS
Just how do you go about converting a hit movie licence to the Amiga anyway? AMIGA POWER investigates...

THE BOTTOM LINE
Almost 300 of last year's top games rated to bring you a complete buyer's guide to what's worth splashing out for, what's worth considering, and what you should avoid like the plague.

DO THE WRITE THING
ELSPA explain all, you make your feelings felt, and the plot thickens as we ask the question: 'Who killed Gary Penn?'

SECOND OPINION
Yes another irregular back page series kicks into gear, this one allowing top industry 'professionals' the chance to make their real feelings felt on recent games. This month, Neil Young of Probe Software.
