October Magazine

magazine became more witty, sarcastic
and funny. Rod set the pace
for the future of Amstrad Action and
left as support for the computer was
dying.
In its last 2 years, with staff and editors
coming and going, the writing
was on the wall. Though next month’s
mag was advertised in the final issue
it never saw the light of day. The plug
was pulled as the once mighty magazine
that founded a media empire
was reduced to the size of a leaflet.
In 2008 a tribute magazine was released
(and can still be purchased
through www.lulu.com) by a team of
writers headed by Amstrad fan Neil
Reive. A letter from yours truly features
in the tribute mag, so while my
childhood dream to write for Amstrad
Action never came to pass, a small
piece of my writing did sort of make
its way in there.
