Amiga Addict’s sister publication Pixel Addict magazine is out soon, boasting a wealth of retro computing magic.
As you can see from the front cover, the mag focuses on the original Sony PlayStation with a 12-page special, featuring insider stories on the cultural impact of the console. The special boasts very special guests: Violet Berlin (Bad Influence), Dominik Diamond (GamesMaster), Geoff Glendenning (Sony), Glen O’Connell (Psygnosis), Julian “Jax” Rignall (Virgin Interactive), Alex Verrey (Games World), Stuart Whyte (PlayStation) and Tim Wright (musician).

If you’re new to this publication, fear not. It’s like Amiga Addict, but with a wider selection of devices. Slanted towards British computing, a typical issue might boast BBC Micros, ZX Spectrums, and features about specific hardware peripherals. Interviews with people connected to the industry are also common.
In short, it’s ideal for fans of old-school computing.
Issue 9 of Pixel Addict magazine is available from January 26th, 2023. You can buy Pixel Addict on the high street (or shopping centre) at WHSmith, or order online from pixel.addict.media. But you can no longer pay with PayPal.
