March 1998 issue I tried to make CUs covers as simple and striking as possible. Some subjects were better suited to this treatment than others. The release of Quake for the Amiga (via ClickBOOM), almost two years after its PC release, was a certainly a big enough story to warrant the entire cover. We hadnt done many games-related covers because the Amiga had ceased to be primarily a games machine a long time ago. However, this worked on a few levels. First of all it was a big, important game. Second, it was a major morale-boost for Amiga enthusiasts, as its very existence on the Amiga platform was like sticking two fingers up at the mainstream games industry. Third, it was a technical curiosity, working on relatively low-spec machines but also taking advantage of the best graphics cards. Its a great cover, even if the other coverlines are pretty bland in subject. User groups? Well, if youd had as many emails asking for a big list of user groups as I had, youd write user groups on the cover too. We used that metallic bronzey gold colour again, which was an unexpected extravagance by this stage.
