Let's read Pixel! This is September's issue of 1990, accompanied by booklet dedicated to the Atari ST. It is from an era when the magazine was beginning to lose its magic.
The contents are monopolized by games with Resolution 101, Manhunter 2, Shadow Warriors and Midinight Resistance standing out. There's also an article on Philips' CD-I and a test of A-Max; a Mac emulator for the Amiga.
This is the last issue hosting the Software File, while Peek&Poke didn't manage get back from the beach in time.
