ANALOG Computing November 1985
Along with its type-in games (and game reviews that included a dual look at The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and Wishbringer from Infocom, "the only company that can really turn me on" in Steve Panak's opinion), the ST coverage in this issue included Jon A. Bell's editorial at the front and Arthur Leyenberger's column at the back dealing with the Commodore Amiga as well. Both mentioned how Jay Miner, who had designed the Atari 800's custom chips, had worked on much more advanced silicon for the Amiga. Bell implied Commodore had been buying coverage for the Amiga (while "Atari would rather spent its money, at present, on its products instead of a saturation ad campaign") that didn't bother to address the ST's own price/performance ratio. Leyenberger did bring up how a number of the first ST computers to be sold had broken down, possibly due to loose chips.
