Amiga Addict is a six weekly computer magazine published by Simulant Systems for users and enthusiasts of Commodore Amiga computers and later PPC derivatives. The first issue was published in December 2020 despite using the title "Issue No. 1 January 2021". The magazine aims to preserve the history of Amiga computer hardware, games and software by interviewing ex-industry professionals whilst celebrating the continuing Amiga scene.{{cite news|title=Paper view:the return of video game magazine|url=https://www.theguardian.com/games/2022/mar/11/paper-view-the-return-of-video-game-magazines|work=The Guardian|date=11 March 2022 |accessdate=14 February 2024 |last1=Stuart |first1=Keith }}

The magazine is split into sections, which include Regulars (such as readers letters, demoscene and coverdisk), Onscreen (games reviews), Amiga Focus (modern community), Amiga Insights (interviews) and Testbench (hardware/software reviews).
