@t2,19@^@f09@t8@cTOP SECRET @f00 @t7ISSUE REVIEWED - #11 PRODUCER - MAJIC 12 @t8PRESENTATION @t1Top secret is a very odd magazine. It looks crap. A loading picture that you can call neither 'art' nor humour fronts the magazine, featuring what appears to be a muscular fantasy character and a big plate with an even bigger sausage on it, oh, and a tiny peice of bacon! This is followed by the magazine itself. A panel of icons lies towards the bottom of the magazine, dressed in a marble style box, the kind of marble people used to fill logo's and fonts with a few years @^ ago. Above the things that stands out most about the look of Top Secret that every thing is brown! The only colour used for text (apart from white) is brown! Even the icon panels are brown, maybe Majic 12 love brown, maybe the are all colour blind and dont want to risk making a mess of the colours or maybe the coder of the magazine routine didn't know that the Amiga had more colours than brown. The magazine layout, and style is very tidy, and clean-cut. @t8CONTENT @t1The contents of Top Secret make it a realy great read. It offers a very large variety of scene topics, well written, and interesting to read. @#@t2,19@^Merely looking at the contents page makes your mouth water. Quality and quantity and equal. @t8OVERALL @t1The first impression given by Top Secret is that it's going to be a sad magazine that should be thrown in the bin. Well, give Top Secret a few seconds and you WILL be impressed. This issue of Top Secret is, in my opinion, as good as Zine ever was, and its not full of itself either, Zine always talked of itself and its members, and how they all wanted to fuck 'Pasty'. While the magazine's colour scene may be totaly bland it is a very neat and tidy magazine, a little square looking but its content make it a worthy addition to the Amiga magazine scene. @t8 84/100 @@
