Amstrad Action (October 1985)
The Amstrad CPC line of computers was popular in the U.K. and some other parts of Europe but was not available in North America as far as I know. It was Z80 based, had 64K to 128K of RAM stock depending on the model and included built in storage (cassette based or disk based on later models). Amstrad Action was an official Amstrad publication that included a heavy dose of gaming along with other software and hardware coverage. The premiere issue from October 1985 includes the following: Hot Reviews
