The next issue, as was standard with Europress magazines, the games-orientated Amiga Action was incorporated into Amiga Computing, a general-Amiga magazine from the same stable. In its defence the Amiga market at the time was unable to sustain any Amiga games magazines and it looked as if the market was set to implode. The new incorporated edition retained the basic Amiga Action design but little of the style of writing that had made it so popular. In September 1997 the final issue of Amiga Computing went on sale with the rather lean looking Amiga Action games section inside. Ironically it was the 99th edition of Amiga Action, a fact that was commemorated with its death.

Subjectively, Amiga Action had never been the best Amiga games magazine by any means, but it had a loyal following of die-hard gamers. The untimely death of Commodore led to growing uncertainty in the market and many games developers were the first to go, along with the game players who moved to the PC and Playstation platforms for their gaming fix. Suffering a decreasing readership the magazine lost its way as writers gave up all hope of the Amiga ever gaining its former glory.
