The September 2025 release of Amiga Future 176 promises a full mix of content for long-time users and curious newcomers. This issue, available in both German and English, arrives with a packed selection of reviews, interviews, workshops, and retrospectives that mark four decades of Amiga computing.
What’s Inside the Issue
The magazine includes the continuation of the Jon Bøhmer interview series, alongside coverage from ARC 2025, giving readers an insider’s look at one of the year’s biggest gatherings. A preview of the game Playfield is included as well.
Reviews form the backbone of Amiga Future 176, covering titles like Krogharr – The Beerserker, Dr Dangerous Boxed, Pjusk, Gemdalus, and AmiSeaFox. Classic and modern Amiga enthusiasts will find more evaluations of Space Patrol, Space Station, and software collections such as Amiga Forever 11, C64 Forever 11, and WinUAE. The ever-popular “Boardgame vs. Amiga” series looks at Genesia, while Gilbert Goodmate rounds out the lineup.
Workshops and Features
Hands-on readers can explore tutorials on data exchange with SMB2, using myMP3tagedit, and experimenting with raycasting techniques. These sessions balance technical detail with practical examples, making them approachable for everyday use.
Special features include Trevor’s Soapbox, reflections on the Commodore reboot, and the third part of “40 years of Amiga,” which explores the missteps and challenges the platform has faced. The demoscene also gets its share of attention, alongside retrospectives on Rings of Medusa and The Return of Medusa.
CoverCD Content
As always, the CoverCD remains a major draw. Extras include ProDAD utilities, digital PDFs of past Amiga Future specials, and a wide range of software for AmigaOS4, AROS, Classic Amiga, and MorphOS. Highlights range from AmiArcadia and iGame v2.6.0 to tools like sqlite-3.34.0 and LiteXL2.
A Strong Lineup
Amiga Future 176 continues the magazine’s role as a central resource for the community. With game coverage, developer interviews, and historical retrospectives, this issue offers a snapshot of how the platform continues to evolve while remembering its past.
