   • 1989, Xenon II Megablast (video game review in Zzap! issue 54, October 1989)

     Fantastic, superb, brilliant, bloody marvellous — I could go on and on calling out superlatives about Xenon 2. It's had enough pre-release hype to rival Batman and it's blown away all other Miggy shoot-'em-ups to date and I can safely say, for quite a while to come as well.

   • 1997, Chris Hewitt, “Where Is everybody?”, in demon.ip.support.amiga (Usenet):

     Then do like I do and keep the Miggy for all e-mail and news. No dodgy headers to give you away then :-)

   • 1998, Zorko Antonic, “Western Digital HD”, in comp.sys.amiga.applications (Usenet):

     I had no problems with using WD hard drives on my Miggies.
