Amiga Action Issue 86 is basically a celebration of Valhalla fandom: it ships with a massive Valhalla demo on the coverdisk, then backs it up with an enthusiastic review of Valhalla & the Fortress of Eve that treats it like a must-play Amiga swansong—complete with a bit of industry drama and a reader offer for the full game. Around that centrepiece, the mag swings wildly between extremes: Super Taekwondo Master is absolutely slated, Pinball Mania gets a solid-but-not-classic verdict, and the rest is classic Amiga-mag comfort food—arcade nostalgia on disk, Sensible Soccer advice, oddball humour features, movie/video chat, and competitions.

Highlights

• Coverdisks: Arcade Classics (a bundle of old-school coin-op conversions like Space Invaders, Gorf, Scramble, Galaxians) + a huge Valhalla demo.
• Valhalla & the Fortress of Eve review is the star: 94%, lots of love for its atmosphere and depth, plus a special reader offer for the full game.
• Super Taekwondo Master is brutally panned with an overall score of 7%.
• Pinball Mania comes out as a decent table-set with 72% (good fun, not top-tier).
• Sensible World of Soccer tips/guide pages for players who still take their tiny-sprite football seriously.
• New comedy-leaning feature: “Dead Celebrity Game Guides” (featuring Sid James dispensing “wisdom” about classic adventures).
• Extra fluff: film/video chatter (including Trainspotting) and competitions (e.g., Granada Studios tour tickets, Manga video prizes).
