Amiga Action Issue 76 (Nov 1995) is framed as a slightly panicked “where are the games?” month that leans hard on big features, sharp humour, and a couple of marquee reviews: the cover story and lead review is Fears, positioned as the latest (and best yet) Amiga “Doom-clone,” praised for its depth, options, weapons/level variety, and save feature, while Wheelspin is gleefully eviscerated as a technically-pretty but fundamentally broken racer with atrocious acceleration/handling and a near-total lack of fun. Away from reviews, the mag’s personality comes through in a knowingly sarcastic ECTS-themed news diary (basically admitting they didn’t go and making a joke of it), plus a mix of previews and long-form filler that does the heavy lifting: a Sequelitis feature chewing over the Amiga’s sequel-heavy charts, a sprawling Colonization Part 2 “guide/novel,” the revamped letters/reader section, PD bits, charts, competitions, and a “Get a life!” beer-and-birds palate cleanser—while the coverdisks do their best to keep you busy with a substantial Virocop demo and the story-driven poker sim demo Hollywood Hustler.

Highlights

• Coverdisks: Virocop (playable level demo of Graftgold’s platform/shoot-’em-up) + Hollywood Hustler (poker-with-story demo, ten hands, sets up the full game’s features and tone).
• Big review win: Fears reviewed as an outstanding 3D shooter with lots to do (weapons, secrets, switches/puzzles, options, save system; generally pitched as better than rivals).
• Big review car-crash: Wheelspin slammed for dreadful acceleration and handling despite decent presentation; treated as one of the worst “big” racers in ages.
• Budget reviews roundup: The Lion King, Man Utd: The Double, Mortal Kombat II, Sensible World of Soccer, Shadow Fighter, Skidmarks.
• Features: Sequelitis (why sequels dominate, what’s actually worth it), and a massive Colonization Part 2 guide that’s explicitly billed as absurdly in-depth.
• News bits: Amiga scene snark + mentions of Street Racer coming to Amiga, Thomas the Tank Engine’s Pinball, and Flight of the Amazon Queen finally being “imminent.”
