==''CU Amiga''== {{Infobox magazine | title = CU Amiga Magazine | image_file = |image_size = 225 |image_caption = | editor = Steve James (Mar 90-Mar 92)<br>Dan Slingsby (Apr 92-Feb 94)<br>Alan Dykes (Apr 94-Nov 96)<br>Tony Horgan (Dec 96-Oct 98) | frequency = Monthly | category = [[Computer magazine|Computer and video games magazine]] | company = [[EMAP]] | firstdate = March 1990 | finaldate = October 1998 | finalnumber = 104 | country = [[United Kingdom]] | website = http://www.cu-amiga.co.uk/ | issn = 0963-0090 }}In 1990, ''CU Amiga-64'' removed the "64" from its name and relaunched it as ''CU Amiga with'' the March 1990 issue.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CU Amiga (March 1990) - Amiga Magazine Rack |url=https://amr.abime.net/issue_678 |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=amr.abime.net}}</ref> The magazine gained circulation as a result of the internationalization. In late 1994, the Amiga's popularity was declining. ''CU Amiga'' had a final name change to help distinguish itself from other competing magazines in an increasingly small market. It became ''CU Amiga Magazine (from October 1990)''.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CU Amiga (October 1990) - Amiga Magazine Rack |url=https://amr.abime.net/issue_674 |access-date=2023-08-25 |website=amr.abime.net}}</ref> In its remaining years under the control of editor [https://amr.abime.net/issue_661 Tony Horgan], the magazine became highly technical. Some staff from sister magazine ''[[The One (magazine)|The One]]'' were moved to CU when the former closed in July 1995 and provided games coverage for CU readers. "THE ONE AMIGA you have known and loved is not dead, but It has changed somewhat. The previous writers and publishers have moved on to better things, and the magazine now lies in entirely new hands, at [[Maverick Magazines]]. So we'll take to opportunity to welcome all the original readers of The One to the new Maverick Edition, and to point out to them the new address."<ref>{{Cite magazine |date=August 1995 |title=Introduction |magazine=TheOne Magazine |issue=82 |url=https://archive.org/details/theone-magazine-82/ |access-date=2023-08-29 |via=Archive.org}}</ref> The final issue was released in October 1998. ''CU Amiga Magazine''{{'}}s closure meant that the only remaining monthly Amiga newsstand magazine was its closest rival, ''[[Amiga Format]]''. A year after ''CU''{{'}}s closure in October 1999, the magazine ''Amiga Active'' was launched. It had several of the same staff and was competition for ''[[Amiga Format]]'', which it ultimately outlived, by being published until November 2001.
