    Those in the U.S. might find it hard to believe, but Commodore Format was a Commodore 64 magazine that was still being published in the U.K. in 1995. This issue from July 1995 includes:

    Features

    • News special: C64 reborn! – ESCOM, the second largest European PC manufacturers are to relaunch the C64 in the developing countries. Simon Forrester gets out his atlas and looks at the implications of this announcement.
    • Win!Win!Win! – Take yourself to the edge, a very sharp edge. We have five copies of the spectacular beat’-em-up Sword of Honour to give away. Turn to page 8 to see how to win a copy NOW!
    • 1993 and all that – No sooner said than spun. Your favorite Commodore story teller, Simon Forrester, sits himself under a tree, takes out his big picture book and begins… Once upon a time… And all because one curious CF reader asked Simon to tell him more about the history of the C64.
    • On The Powerpack
      • Capture – Simply board Capture may be, but it’s never dull. Capture is a game of strategy and skill. Move your tiles around: preferably on to squares which are already occupied by your opponent. Well, do you have any cause to be nice to him or her?
      • Trashman

    Regulars

    • News/C64 Scene Directory – Did you win a JiffyDOS upgrade? A Shoot-’em-up-destruction Set? And, what’s the C64-wise?
    • The Mighty Brain – You ask. We give as good as we get. No, better.
    • Back to BASICs – You are under mortarboard attack from Simon Forrester who is determined to teach you BASIC.
    • Buy-a-rama – Sold on the idea of CF classifieds? You should be!
    • Contact points – The fanzines, the clubs, the lowdown.
    • Next month: – What you can look forward to in CF59.
    • CF back issues – Keep up with the issues that were.

    Reviews

    Games

    • Gamebusters – Squarescape, Superstrike, Spacewar and SEUDS.
    • Public Domain – Succumb to Lethargy and Contraflow.

    Serious
