What people have said

CU Amiga were the first to receive their review copy and so their`s is the earliest version of the encyclopedia (1.0). The other magazines (AF, AC and AUI) all have version "1.01r" which will be part of the upgrade all reigistered users wil receive shortly. Tony Horgan of CU rated the product 77% in their October 1996 issue. His main complaint was the lack of sound and pictures, we already have more of these than any other Amiga encyclopedia including Grolier which they rated 87%!
