Amiga Addict was the first Amiga magazine to be sold in newsagents[1] in the UK and internationally since Total Amiga magazine ceased in 2007[2] which has resulted in praise from the wider games press[3] for the magazine's quality and courage, partly due to the challenges the publication faces in keeping the Amiga relevant now that it is an older niche platform.
Amiga Addict is a six weekly computer magazine published by Simulant Systems for users and enthusiasts of Commodore Amiga computers and later PPC derivatives. The first issue was published in December 2020 despite using the title "Issue No. 1 January 2021". The magazine aims to preserve the history of Amiga computer hardware, games and software by interviewing ex-industry professionals whilst celebrating the continuing Amiga scene.[4]
The magazine is split into sections, which include Regulars (such as readers letters, demoscene and coverdisk), Onscreen (games reviews), Amiga Focus (modern community), Amiga Insights (interviews) and Testbench (hardware/software reviews).
Amiga Addict is currently active and listed in The British Library archives, with registered ISSN number 2754-706X.[5]
