The article says it was about Commodore's 8-bit computers. However, did it cover all of Commodore's 8-bit computers, or just VIC-20 and C64 (and C128?)?Jasonlvc 04:05, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what it fully covered. When I was reading it the main focus was the C64 and I think there were soem articles on the C128 as well. I'm pretty sure they lso covered GEOS, etc. later on as well. The article mentions a lot of utilties for typing in programs but what I remember best was the music related stuff on the disks (thanks to the C64's supperio audio capabilities thanks to the SID chip), some interesting games, and most of all for several great articles on publishing (layout & design type stuff). Not sure of Gamebase64 has some of the material from the disks. It was really great magazine! Argel1200 (talk) 21:34, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find old issues?[edit]

The link in the article is to a site that just shows pictures, there no .pdf's available for any but a few of the issues. There is an article about someone who claims they were written up in that magazine back in 1984. [1]. The Bob Shannon (computer programmer) article is up for deletion, based on whether or not he was featured in that magazine or not. He has a copy of the entire article on his own website, and I don't think he'd make that up, but apparently we need someone else to confirm they have that issue, or can point to an archive somewhere online where it is at to verify.

I have all 86 issues as PDFs - there's a torrent to download them all. What info do you specifically need about Bob Shannon so I can check?
