- AMIGA SET TO RETURN TO CENTRE STAGE
- WITH MAJOR NEW NATIONAL SHOWCASE
-
-
- The amiga is set to return to centre stage on the UK computer scene
- with a major new showcase event to be held in APRIL.
-
- Sponsered by Amiga Technologies GmbG, the German based subsidiary of
- Escom, the show is being developed to effectively relaunch the Amiga
- following the rescue of the machine from the ruins of Commodore.
-
- World of Amiga '96 has been designed as a major public platform to
- rehabilitate the Amiga in the eyes of the existing user base -
- as well as a potential new generation of Amigoids - and to provide
- the Amiga business sector with a significant source of revenue.
-
- All the top Amiga companies are expected to attend the event - to be
- held on Saturday and Sunday, April 13 / 14 at the Novatel, Hammersmith.
-
- Supported by all the major Amiga titles, the show line up will include;
-
- - Amiga Technologies GmbH which will use the event to unveil
- all the latest development for the Amiga. ( though yet to be
- confirmed, it is expected that the new Amiga 1200+ will have
- its first public showing in the uk at the event. )
-
- - Key software developers, many of whom have been holding Amiga
- packages on the backburner in the light of recent problems,
- but are now rushing to complete them in time to use the event
- as a launch pad.
-
- - Add on developers whose interest in the Amiga has been
- stimulated once again.
-
- - Amiga distributors.
-
- - Amiga dealers from throughout the UK.

- of the most experienced show promotion agenciesin this sector, Cape
- Cowley Associates, to ensure a well attended event. CCA has previously
- been responsible for the launch of ECTS, Computer Shopper and the
- Future Entertainment Show.
-
- "All the components are inplace for an AMIGA event, like of which we
- have not seen since the hey day of the machine," says Peter Brameld
- of PBA Events.
-
- "We have a new and well financed manufacturer behind both the machine
- and the event, all the Amiga mags have promised active support, all
- third parties are eager to make money - and there is still a substantial
- user base out there."
-
- "Just how substantial can be seen by the fact on leading games house
- recently sold 50,000 units of an Amiga version of one of its blockbuster
- titles. Now if that doesnt prove there is still life in this sector, I
- Don't know what does."
-
- "World of Amiga '96 will provide the catalyst for the rebirth of the
- Amiga. So let the good times roll again......"
