Amiga Resourse Center
helping you stay connected
Just because you don't see a wealth of Amiga magazines lining your local newsstand doesn't mean they are not available. Amiga World sent out a request to the Amiga Community to let us know what Amiga magazines they read, and boy did we get a response. What follows is an initial response to our survey. You can expect more of these lists to appear in subsequent issues of Amiga World as we will continue to let readers know about the wealth of information available in both print and electronic format. If you know of an Amiga resource that should be printed here, please tell us or request that the editor of the resource contact Amiga World at zanjan@earthlink.net. Without further adue, here follows the beginning of a regular column called Amiga Resource Center.
