** And ''Amiga Power'' itself may be seen as a Spiritual Successor: several of the writers (including Golder, Nash, and Campbell) came from the classic UsefulNotes/ZXSpectrum magazine ''Your Sinclair'', which had a similarly zany style. ''Sega Power'' also took up the torch, though they tended to not so much walk the line of absolute lunacy as leap headlong over it while screaming incoherently about mackerel.

* SpiritualSuccessor: Dave Golder left to start the sci-fi/fantasy magazine ''Magazine/{{SFX}}'', using much the same humour in the reviews and occasionally some of the old staff as reviewers. Stuart Campbell, for instance, did ''Series/TheXFiles''. It gradually [[SeasonalRot devolved]] into a "normal" mag, eventually even eliminating the [[CreditsGag different titles for the head editor]]. Thankfully, the honest reviews are mostly still there.

** A more obvious Spiritual Successor was ''Magazine/PCGamer''. Many AP writers moved onto PC Gamer (just as so many Amiga owners moved on to [=PCs=]) including such names as Jonathan Davies, Kieron Gillen (aka C-Monster) and Stuart Campbell. They brought to it many familiar in-jokes and running gags from their ''Amiga Power'' days.

[[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne The musician himself read this and was quite upset by it]], [[DidntThinkThisThrough and in Britain that sort of thing tends to result in a plain-clothes police officer coming over to visit and question somebody if the target fails to see the funny side]]. Understandably, Nash didn't use the joke again.
