The very first issue of Amiga Survivor, an Amiga games only magazine is available, for all those who have made calls for an Amiga games only magazine, it's now time to pay up and get your issue. It's important for Amiga Survivor to be a success and it's a significant stepping stone in the growth of the Amiga Games Market. I hope therefore that readers of Amiga Flame will show their support for Amiga Survivor by buying the latest issue.

I said I would be giving Amiga Survivor the review treatment as soon as it arrived through the post and I'm glad it did arrive for I got quite a surprise. The quality of Amiga Survivor surprised me for it's presentation and design is top notch, any Editor would be proud by it's Mast Head, Headlines and easy to read layout which has been produced and designed by Robert Iveson. In fact he has also wrote most of the articles from the Editorial to News and even Reviews. I'm not able to read his Reviews as I do my own but his Genetic Species review takes up five sides, going into intense details with the screenshots that follow the review coming out pretty well in black and white.

No matter how hard I tried I could not find any errors in the text but I did find Alex de Vries column to be depressive and in error, I'm surprised he wasn't in the Trashcan section. Amiga Survivor has a great type of style in the way it has been written which is both informative and fun, it's amazing the amount of Games News that's been dug up from commercial, Licenceware and Shareware titles - many people have said that their isn't enough Amiga Games to cover in an Amiga Games Magazine but I think Amiga Survivor will prove them wrong and I hope they keep it up each and every month.

My advice is to pick up the first issue which is only £2.95 UK Pounds and see what you think, if you like it then get a subscription. The web site they picked for being the Web Site Of The Month is awesome, so check it out when you have your issue. According to Robert Iveson of Amiga Survivor the next issue is to have some Exclusive News.

Amiga Survivor's first issue features a Genetic Species Review, Two views of The World of Amiga Show, AI's Amiga Theme Reviewed, Aminet Ramblings (a monthly dig into the recent Aminet postings), Trashcan (Software to be avoided!), Legendary Title, Magnetic Fiction (A collection of short stories from Andy Campbell), The Fifth Column (a general rant about the world of computers), Loads of Gaming News, Loads of Previews of forthcoming Amiga games, Plenty of Reviews of Freeware, Licenceware and Shareware titles, and more.

They also have a Website of the Month with Amiga Flame topping this month commenting Amiga Flame as being "the prime source for Amiga gaming news" and said the work done shows "sheer dedication to the gaming world of the Amiga community". Thanks to Robert Iveson for the nice comments.

Amiga Survivor is Mail-Order only initially as News stand publication is a little on the expensive side but it may hit the news stands in Germany in the near future. It is an A5 mag, black and white with a colour cover including around 40+ pages every month. I know that for a long time many Amiga Gamers have wanted a Amiga Games only Publication, Amiga Survivor provides this but it needs our input and support, so we must buy an issue. This is a great opportunity and we can't let it go.
