Amiga Action - Issue 046 - July Amiga Action - Issue 046 - July 1993 NEW

Issue 46 is a very “games-first” package built around a stack of coverdisk freebies (including Bully’s Sporting Darts, Match of the Day, Amiga Worm, and Pharaoh’s Curse) and a big spread of previews/reviews that leans hard into upcoming late-’93 releases and the growing A1200 focus. The front of the mag teases first screenshots of Zool 2 and runs a substantial “Work in Progress”-style look at Alfred Chicken (due Aug ’93)—a deliberately bonkers platformer set across themed zones like “Cheese World” and a mechanical fortress, complete with clown guns, oven-launching, and a surreal “BLAHS!” TV gimmick. Alongside the usual regulars (charts, letters, competitions), there’s also the final part of an in-depth CompuServe/online feature that moves beyond games into practical services and how the Amiga community actually uses them.

Highlights
  • Coverdisks/freebies: Bully’s Sporting Darts, Match of the Day, Amiga Worm, Pharaoh’s Curse.
  • Big preview / Work in Progress: Alfred Chicken (release noted as Aug ’93)—described as an intentionally mad platformer with worlds like Cheese World, a library, a mechanical fortress, and gag mechanics like riding comic “BLAHS!” up the screen and using ovens as vertical launchers.
  • What the issue hypes inside: First screenshots of Zool 2, plus mention of Morph and Beavers as key features/reviewed items this month.
  • A1200 emphasis: A promoted A1200-specific reviews section, explicitly calling out Desert Strike and Flashback, and also name-checking Sensible Soccer in the A1200 context.
  • Budget angle: Bully’s Sporting Darts gets singled out as standout value (explicitly framed as excellent “value-for-money” at £9.99).
  • Features: The concluding installment of the CompuServe series—shifting from “what it is” and games to non-games uses and services (travel/airline systems are discussed as an example of what you can access).
