Amiga Action Issue 78 (Jan 1996) has a surprisingly upbeat “the Amiga scene’s still kicking” vibe, mixing its usual cheeky humour with a busy bundle of content: prominent coverdisk value (a timed Worms demo plus a full game), lively news and oddball features, and a solid run of reviews and regular sections that keep the magazine’s irreverent, fan-facing tone front and center.

Highlights:

• Coverdisks: A timed Worms demo (limited play session, small-player setup, quick-turn rules) plus a full game included on disk.
• Big attention on Worms: Positioned as a long-awaited, hype-heavy release and treated like a major event for Amiga players.
• Industry/scene curiosity: A feature tying former Commodore UK figure David Pleasance to Tangent Music Design, framed around an Amiga-themed music project/celebration.
• Classic AA humour: A jokey “Lemmings” news-style piece leaning into puns and mock drama.
• Reviews snapshot: Titles covered include Coala, Exile (A1200), Leading Lap, Penguins, Super Tennis Champs, and Team (alongside the Worms coverage).
