THE ONE AMIGA JULY 1995, (The
last issue of The One............)
'Winslows or shenfield: hair today, gone tomorrow...'
Arse. Arse, arse, and arse again. The Amiga market cathes the slightest of light colds about a year ago and suddenly these sods decide it's time they closes down my arse. Or at the very least, suspend it in a jar of surgical spirit. And the worst of it, though - the most galling thing, is that this is probably the best issue ever! Or at least, since the last. I mean, look at the great free book stuck to us this month - it's been a long time since The One had such a fine promotion. And turning arsewardly from thence, you find a great big fun-packed bundle of fun, ranking with the 'fun'-nest we've ever proffered. The great demo of Super Street Fighter 2, with 10 pounds off spectacular! The magic demo of Blitz Bombers, which carries on where Dynablaster left off! The usual blinding month-full of loveliness, featuring 13 brand-new games for your delight! And, after all that, what do they say? "Sod off," that's what! The Amiga has shown that it can take the knocks, and yet continue to sire fulsome games over a year after it fell from grace. But, sadly, The One - eight years old, making it the Britain's venerablest and wiset Amiga gmaes magazine - is handing over control to sister mag, CU Amiga. The next issue of that tome will, allegedly, incorporate many things that made The One great. And damned fine luck to them, too - because we're all off to pastures new, to start afresh. Still, all good things, as they say, must come to an end, and we should be grateful that they've decided to make an exception in our case. Aha-ha-ha! We all wish you well. It's been a blast.

If any of our competitors are reading... Aha ha ha! Beat you again! (Er, right up until the point they killed the mag!) Yep, while the other mags desperately try to make crap games look good on their disks (accompanied by strategically overrated reviews) The One delivers again! Matt Broughton gloats and pats himself on the back. Before sodding off down the employment agency. Doh!

BLITZ BOMBERS (A1200)
Bloody hell! This really is fantastic (and if you don't believe me, play the demo now!) If you've never played the likes of Dynablaster or Super Bomberman before, you won't appreciate the incredibly addictive fun to be had blowing up your mates.
Thankfully, in a government top secret-like way, we've managed to keep Blitz Bombers locked away from all the other mags and companies, and you can be sure that you're privileged person indeed. Oh yes.
So anyway, while the other mags sweep, and the publishers get on the phone, why not load the little fella up and have some explosive fun?
WOOGLIES
Here's fun! It may look like Pengo, but upon further inspection, it
becomes apparent that what we're dealing with here is a rather interesting
puzzle game - with a fair old bit of fun thrown in for good measure. The
Basic aim is a simple one, but once you start playing, you'll realise that
all is not as it first seems.
SUPER STREET FIGHTER 2
If there's anybody here who hasn't heard of Street Fighter 2, er... then you're quite obviously lying. Apart from being an incredible arcade phenomenon, apart from being the game that spawned a thousand clones, apart from being one of the worst films ever, er... what was my point again? Oh yeah, it's a smart game, and the chances of you having travelled through life without seeing it are slimmer than someone who hasn't eaten for 25 years. And then go on a diet.
So anyway, you play the part of one of the new characters in our demo, namely the groovy daddio, Dee Jay. Now Dee Jay is a bit tasty all round, with a rather vicious double-kick special at his disposal (and mine, now that I know what the special move is!)
