Amiga Addict #20 has been announced, with a feature on Andy Warhol’s relationship with the Amiga way back in 1985. There is also a look at the Amiga Walker, once considered the “future” of the Amiga.
When I was a lad, a weekly walk into town on a Saturday morning would always culminate with me walking home with my head in a magazine. The trip was dominated by time spent in WHSmith’s, often browsing books but usually flicking through Amiga or guitar magazines.
To be honest, it’s a wonder I made it home safely.
Amiga Format and CU Amiga may be long gone, but their spirit lives on in Amiga Addict.
Issue 20 of Amiga Addict includes:
- Amiga Addict explores Andy Warhol’s relationship with creating art on the Amiga and how he helped forge our platform’s creative identity.
- An exclusive interview with Amiga World magazine’s co-founder and editor Guy Wright, who interviewed Warhol back in 1986 prior to the iconic artist’s passing.
- We head out on the road, turning our focus to Amiga users and reporting from Lincolnshire Amiga Group, Stamford Peterborough Amiga Group and Yorkshire Amiga Group meets.

The only magazine I still buy in print is about to release its 20th issue, and it looks like a barnstormer.
