Amtix (stylized as AMTIX!) was a magazine that reviewed Amstrad computer software in the mid-1980s. It was published monthly by Newsfield Publications Ltd.
Unlike Zzap 64 and CRASH (its more successful sister publications from Newsfield), Amtix! was relatively short-lived. It ran for 18 issues in total between November 1985 and April 1987, plus a special preview issue (Issue zero) which was given away with Zzap!64 and CRASH.
After issue 18, Amtix! was sold to Database Publications who merged the Amtix! games sections into their own Computing With the Amstrad magazine.[1]
Like Zzap!64 and Crash, Amtix! had very distinctive, comic-style cover art, drawn by Oliver Frey.
