Whilst I agree that the amiga in its day was a superb home computer and has many loyal followers that still use the machine to this day.

I do think we need to get this in perspective, rumours surrounding its rebirth in various disguises have failed to materialise. Sure a few boards turned up and the OS can be ported to other platforms.

At the end of the day its finished. I have no problem with i remaining in Micro Mart as I do like to skip a few pages and you can never please everyone with all the articles.

I do however feel that now years after the amiga was resigned to a cult following, it is time to clearly stamp it as retro and should perhaps form a significant part of a retro section.

Sometimes I do feel Micromart does struglle for articles and revisits or revamps articles.

There are a wealth of retro machine from a bygone age which I for one would love to read about. Most of these like the Amiga do deserve coverage and make interesting reading.

As such why cant we do the following.

4 pages,

one amiga related which is weekly.

One "what are you doing with your retro machine". readers encouraged to submit arcticles with pictures

one page Best retro games for a specific platform. different one each week. perhaps encourage web votes by system / game

one page for " the machine that time forgot" more obscure stuff - obscure dust gathering machines
