Commodore Format (July 1995)

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?
    • 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

  • Sword of Honour - It's spectacular. It's a beat-'em-up. It's got ninjas.

Games

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

Serious

  • GEOS - Go faster gripes? You can speed up your printing.
  • True ROM-antics - TALK, LISTEN, UNTALK, UNLISTEN.
  • Techie Tips - Stuck? Glue yourself to techie guru Jason Finch.

...and more!
