Amiga Addict’s latest release, Issue 37, takes readers on a deep and direct tour through one of the Amiga’s most influential gaming moments: the creation of Worms. Andy Davidson, the mind behind the title, shares how the original concept took shape — even before the name Worms ever appeared. It’s a rare inside look at the start of a game that reshaped artillery titles across platforms.
The spotlight on Worms doesn’t stop there. Gareth offers a hands-on walkthrough of designing a custom level, shedding light on the creative hurdles and clever tricks involved in crafting a playground for these battle-hardened worms.
Inside This Issue: Reviews, Interviews, and Hardware
The reviews section steps into both familiar and fresh ground. Readers will find coverage of Absolute Zero, a newer Amiga game, along with classic titles like Zool, Super Stardust, and the CD32 version of Chuck Rock II. Each review sticks to the essentials — how the games play today, what holds up, and where the cracks show.
Hardware fans get a treat as well. The creator behind DeMoN — a modern spin on the iconic Action Replay hardware — breaks down the thought process behind his latest revision.
Meanwhile, Ravi continues unpacking the ABox story, tracing the paths taken by projects that tried to fill the gap after the original concept stalled. It’s a reminder of just how far ideas can stretch once they leave their starting point.
Paul sits down with Hugh Poynton, offering readers a personal perspective from someone who shaped Amiga Action and Amiga Computing magazines. Through their conversation, the energy and challenges of running print publications during Amiga’s peak years come across clearly.
Contributor Ryan dives into the overlooked art of game over screens, showcasing some of the most memorable (and sometimes unintentionally hilarious) efforts from Amiga developers.
There’s even a look at how Amiga’s creative side found new ground in the DJ scene, thanks to the NASP program — a tool that made electronic music creation accessible long before software studios became the norm.
And of course, all the regular columns and features are packed in as well, covering new releases, tech tips, reader letters, and community highlights.
