Amiga Future
Author: AndreasM
This is the full colour preview and excerpts of the Amiga Future issue 142 (Januar/Februar 2020) can now be viewed online on the Amiga Future website.
Some of the interesting articles in this issue are:
Showreport Amiga 34
Special AmigaOS 3.1.4 part 3
Special FPGA Amiga Clone
Of course there's so MUCH more actually in the magazine.
Needless to say you often get other versions of software, often what was commercially available, as well as some of the latest try-outs or freely released software applications and games for, hopefully, all of the Amiga type Operating systems, so that's Amiga 'Classic', OS4, MorphOS, and AROS, including some PD software for these systems, all on the Readers' cover CD.
A detailed description of content and excerpts of this current issue can be found at: http://www.amigafuture.de/kb.php?mode=cat&cat=13
The Amiga Future magazine is available as an English and German printed magazine - every issue is available in FULL COLOUR - directly available from the magazine editorial office and also from various other Amiga dealers.
