Source: Computer & Video Game Magazines – Commodore Format – July 1995


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?
