Yep, I remember these. There were also the old Usborne books (scroll down) - I think I borrowed every single one that the library had  

C64 my first computer.  I never saw that magazine though.

You need to watch some of the retro computer youtube vids. The 8-bit guy has some good ones. 

I have years worth of them still.

The Atara 800XL was far superior to the C64 :)   the designer went onto the Amiga team.

Those books were very cool :D I had a large number of them across all sorts of subjects.

So cool, I remember that machine code for beginners haha.

Remember trying to code games so the tv scan rate matched the screen draw rate... so onscreen movement was smooth.

Ahh yes, the good old SYS "OS_Byte", 19 to wait for VSync on an Acorn :)

No idea how to do it on a C64.

My favourite part of old computer magazines is the exceptionally good quality images they had on the cover, which didn't represent the quality of the graphics on the computer AT ALL.  Same with game boxes through the ages until recent years when graphics caught up with imagination.  

I had a bunch of Amiga magazines but I suppose my parents threw them out by now.  One of my prized possessions is an original marketing booklet for the Apple Lisa.  

I had a few banana boxes full of Amiga magazines recently....  bought back a lot of memories :) Moved them along as was no way I was going to get through them all :-p
