Microsoft: Xbox 360 has History on its Side

I wasn't too peeved as it saved me from having to edit the 'Send Your 10 Line BASIC Program' page at the back of the PCW-specific 8000 Plus magazine... what a chore. So, I moved on to New Computer Express (my beloved bog-paper, multi-format weekly) and thence to Amiga Format (having turned down a role on PC Plus).

Great days... yeah... great days... well, save when having CD-ROMs frisbeed across the room at your head while trying to edit one of the Amiga Format specials.

Was it demoralising doing that knowing that The One Amiga was actually the best Amiga magazine ever?

My freind ran an amiga internet site, being what the internet is and was starting to be it mostly contained porn pics!, but it was called Watershed, but because of complaints from the BBC and OFCOM (so he says, but have no reason to not believe him) it got renamed to Wavy, which remains his Email and Gamertag name to this day.

I feeel sad i missed out on the amiga, i had a spectrum 128K+ which was my earliest experince unless you count the BBC and Chucky Egg + all those other game sthe BBC had like Maths and English Games!

[edit] as you can see those games didnt help me!

Seeing as the premise is flawed, I've really not got an answer to that one.

Heresy!

If we're talking frisbeed... then yes, they were CDs. But thrown... thrown was scalpels.


The One for Amiga games, as I think you'll find it was actually called, was the second best Amiga games magazine after Amiga Power.

ZX-80
Vic=20
Atari 800
Commodore 16
Amiga 500
Amiga 600
Amiga 1200
Macintosh Performa 475
Amiga 4000
Power Macintosh 7100/80
Macintosh PowerBook 1400cs/117
Power Macintosh G3 300 Desktop
Self Built Dual P3 PC
Power Macintosh G4 450 Cube
Power Macintosh G4 867 (Quicksilver)
iMac G4 Desklamp
iMac G4 Flat Panel 17 Inch
iMac Core Duo 1.83 17-Inch
Power Macintosh G5
Mac Pro Quad Core 2.66

I think that's it. maybe I should put that in my sig.

Indeed they were. Not like today's soft, 'occupational health and safety'-based dead tree publishing environment, I'll be bound (well, I'm sure I wouldn't be). I bet they chuck bubble-wrapped memory sticks at a specially placed target nowadays.



Well, when it started out in life it was just The One. My memory confuses it with Zero though.

I've not done anything illegal or stupid in my life. But if I had done, throwing a scalpel 7a-blade-first at your head would have been one of the worst.


Well... if you're going to be like that about it, when Amiga Format started out in life, it was called ST/Amiga Format. And like conjoined Siamesers, it was separated by a costly and parlous operation that was funded for mainly by EMAP. The initially stronger twin went on to die a slow and wasting death. Few mourned... except possibly for a few musicians who celebrated its MIDI port somewhat over-enthusiastically.

I'm in no way impugning the veracity of your friend's assertions, but I fear that he may have become confused.

You see, Ofcom wasn't established until 2002. Also, the BBC has no claim on the term "watershed" - it's a common term meaning an important point of division or transition between two phases. It has simply been pressed into use to represent the time after which you can say "s**t" and "f**k" on the TV, or show pictures of titties and lady-gardens.

Venus the fly trap, now there was a game, whatever happened to , games like that (and the PCW 3D Batman one mentioned before as well)? In 20 years time, we will not even care to remember 90% of the games available today.

Maybe it wasnt OFCOM, but i was told this the year of my working at GAME where he also worked and that was 1998, so it must of been somethign he said, but OFT has been around for a while before them which they then became OFCOM and OFTTEL etc, So yes im confused or just bad memory, still he got some complaint from somewhere and i know the BBC was invioved because he mentioned that the letter he recieved did mention them in regards to the complaint, not to say this whole subject is 100% truthful, but im just passing on the amusing story.

No it bloody wasn't called that, and therefore your argument is invalidated. Continuing my playground logic, since that magazine takes me back to my school days, I win.

In addition, I believe my father has a greater body mass than your father.

The Internet disagrees with you and has pictures to prove it.

The One for 16-Bit Games: October 1988 - April 1991
The One for Amiga Games: May 1991 - April 1992
The One: May 1992 - October 1992
The One Amiga: October 1992 - July 1996



Well, your mother is extremely corpulent, to the point that when she is seated at your place of residence, she encompasses it entirely!

Oh come on, when could you ever trust anything you read on the internet?

Everyone knows that web editors fellate the penises of equus asinus.

What other part of an animal would one be able to fellate? Given that - as I think you'll find - fellatio is directly related to oral stimulation of the male organ of copulation - which, in mammals is also of urinary excretion?

Felicitations
