    Software Support International was one of the major mail order companies for Commodore 64 software and hardware. They sold stuff for other computers of the time also but I mostly remember their ads from various Commodore 64 related magazines in the late 80s. I believe I bought Pool of Radiance from them when it came out in 1988.

    This is a very late ad for them. Commodore had just gone out of business and the last major Commodore 64 magazine had stopped publication in 1992. No major new Commodore 64 titles were being produced at this point so the vast majority of what they were selling must have been old stock. Their ads usually had large lists of software titles and hardware items in pretty small print so it’s pretty obvious their supply was much reduced. I can’t imagine that they were in business long after this, at least not selling Commodore 64 related items.

    Commodore World was a magazine for the Commodore 64 and Commodore 128 that was published by Creative Micro Designs after the demise of Commodore and production of Commodore computers had ceased. It’s pretty impressive how much support existed for the Commodore 64 long after it was gone from retail shelves (and even today). But it was, after all, the best selling computer of all time.

    This issue is from October 1998 and includes the following:

    Features

    • Web.It – The New Commodore 64
    • CMD FD Internals – An Insight Into The Storage Layout Of CMD FD Disks
    • Super FD Backup (Type-In Program)

    Reviews

    • Software: Laser Lover’s Disk: A New Toolkit for Postscript Printing with GEOS

    Columns

    • Just For Starters: A Simple Guide to Understanding Printers
    • Carrier Detect: A Sense of Community
    • 816 Beat: New Commands Provided by the 65816 Processor

    …and more!
