How I wish we'd had a magazine like this in the U.S. I greatly enjoyed Run, Commodore Magazine and video game magazines like Electronic Gaming Monthly and VideoGames & Computer Entertainment but a Commodore 64 gaming magazine would have been amazing. Zzap! was such a beast and long running too but alas published in the U.K. The August 1989 issue includes:
