    Commodore Microcomputers was Commodore’s official magazine in 1985. At this point is was mostly the Commodore 64 that was being covered but the Commodore 128 was newly arrived and starting to see coverage and you could still find a bit about the VIC-20 and PET lines as well. Eventually it would merge with other Commodore publications and become a monthly title called Commodore Magazine. The March/April 1985 issue of Commodore Microcomputers includes:
