    Home Computer Magazine, Volume 5, Number 4, 1985

    Home Computer Magazine was born from 99er magazine which had been a TI-99/4A dedicated magazine. Home Computer Magazine still had a specific list of machines that it covered but at least it expanded to include Commodore, MS-DOS and Apple in addition to the TI. It still only lasted a couple of years though. Volume 5, Number 4, published sometime in 1985 includes:
