APoV – Issue 6 Out Now!

APoV - Amiga Point of View Magazine

After being thoroughly impressed with APoV’s inaugural printed magazine back in January of this year I was thrilled to receive the latest edition through my letterbox a few days ago!

How do I know it’s the new issue? Because it says so on the cover – its kind of hard to miss!

The contents pages confirm this issue’s strong emphasis on the modern Amiga scene with oodles of current game and hardware articles and reviews.

 

APoV News

Just like the last issue the magazine is presented across seventy full colour glossy pages and it still costs just £5 which is great value for money compared to some of the competition.

 

Aquabyss

Aquabyss Review

 

As promised in the last issue there’s an in-depth review of the rather splendid Aquabyss this time around and that’s just the tip of the proverbial iceberg.

 

Luma Review

Another game getting the full APoV review treatment is Luma – a really nice looking puzzle game that I have to admit I’ve not actually played yet but it’s definitely on my radar now.

 

Power Glove Review

Power Glove Reloaded Review

 

Power Glove Reloaded is another. I remember playing this on the C64 a few years ago and really enjoying it – this ‘reloaded’  version is basically an enhanced edition for the Amiga.

 

A500 Mini Review

Previously promised Amiga hardware reviews have also made an appearance in this issue, such as the venerable A500 Mini.

 

PiStorm Review

They also made good on their pledge to feature the PiStorm – a device that really offers a lot of ‘bang for your buck’.

 

Apollo V4 Review

If the PiStorm is just too lowly and cheap for you then they still have you covered with a nice rundown of the impressive but also jolly expensive Apollo V4 Icedrake expansion.

There’s much more in the magazine than I’ve touched on here. Suffice it to say, issue 6 is a great read. The writing style is just as engaging and witty as ever and the switch to more contemporary coverage is great to see.

 

Where to purchase a copy of APoV from?

If you’d like to avail yourself of a copy then you can purchase one for the bargain price of £5 plus postage from their itch.io page. Although the page is dormant right now I’ve been assured that it will be live again this coming weekend ready to take orders again.
