PC Magazine rate entertainment pack #1 - 4 out of 5 (from the amiga.com site) and add an interesting comment...
If you read the comments it is interesting to note that the reviewer states the games are 'Amiga-style' which clearly lead to a positive conclusion of 4 stars out of 5.
It just goes to show that even now people still remember the Amiga name for good quality games. :)
1000+ club members over the next couple of days? I hope so. If they could just release some more teaser screenshots of OS 4.0 then they may well do it.

PC Magazine rate entertainment pack #1 - 4 out of 5 : Comment 9 of 17 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Sam Smith on 23-Jul-2002 07:22 GMT | In reply to Comment 8 (Don Cox): To a certain extent you are going to be unable to avoid the nostalgic links. This is how most people remember the Amiga - as a good games machine from the past. Sure, it's not the cutting edge image that Amiga need - but to get people back interested in the machine the nostalgic link is always going to be there.
In this aspect it was taken positively. If people can think, 'yeah I remember the Amiga it was really cool" this gives them an incentive to take a look at the amiga.com site or start asking questions about what is available (or coming soon ;). This then leads on to the AmigaOne and OS4.0 which can only be a good thing.
The Amiga has a strong, positive nostalgic link with a lot of people and there is every opportunity to use that to its full potential without damaging the image of Amiga's future. |
