  Amiga Power: 1991 - 1996
Amiga Power took a dangerous path on many occasions, leaving a string of lawsuit threats and tarnished publishers in its wake.
Amiga Format: Even their own sister publication was not safe from accusations that their review standards were poor, based upon a bug found in a particular game that prevented them from getting past level 3.
Amiga Format reacted with counter claims that Amiga Power should check their facts beforehand, they had not found the bug because they had used a cheat to play some of the later levels.

Amiga Power was an oddity, in that it was not really interested in the Amiga as such.

Amiga Format can be thought of the "mother" or "big sister" magazine of the more infamous magazine Amiga Power, which it both predated and outlived.
Whereas Amiga Power was strictly games-only, Amiga Format covered all aspects of Amiga computers, both hardware and software, both productivity and gaming uses.
The last was Amiga Active, which ran for 26 issues from October 1999, although Amiga Format was the only such magazine after CU Amiga Magazine's closure in October 1998 until the launch of Amiga Active.
