Forgot to link to Amstrad Action magazine when that is mentioned. Fixed now.
The magazine was split into several sections, each of which would be loaded from cassette separately. Initially the magazine was written in BASIC; which incurred long load times and meant each page of the magazine rendered slowly on the screen. There was also no apparently 'Print' command; which made using the (often very in-depth) hints and tips the magazine provided quite difficult without a notepad and pen.
The second side of the cassette contained a selection of games and utilities, similar to the way ''[[Amstrad Action ]]'' would lay out their covertapes several years later. The quality of the second-side software varied but several useful utilities and fun, small games were included with the magazine over the course of its run.
The magazine lasted at least 11 issues, running from 1984 to 1986.
