Amiga Format was my magazine of choice from 1989 to 1994, and my provided me with my fondest memories of all computer magazines. A teenager discovering 16-bit computing, the games and the applications and creativity tools that AF introduced me to.

Today I rediscover the issues I owned, and look at what happened after I stopped buying the magazine.
