Compute! is a multi-format computer magazine that was published throughout most of the 1980s and early 1990s. Compute! also had several spin-off publications that were specific to one particular computer or another. Most were relatively short-lived but Compute!’s Gazette for Commodore 8-bit computers (mostly the Commodore 64) was an exception. It was published from 1983 until 1990 as a stand-alone magazine and then it continued as an insert until 1993 and finally as a disk only publication until 1995. Features from the June 1989 issue of Compute!'s Gazette includes: Best Arcade Sports Games - An overview of sports games for the Commodore 64. For each sport there was a winner and one or more runners up. For baseball the winner was The Sporting News Baseball and the runner up was HardBall! For football it was 4th & Inches and John Elway's Quarterback. For basketball it was Fast Break with Jordan vs. Bird: One on One and Slam Dunk both being contenders. For Hockey it was Superstar Ice Hockey and Powerplay Hockey: USA vs. USSR. For Golf it was Jack Nicklaus' Greatest 18 Holes of Major Championship Golf (that's a mouthful) with World Tour Golf, World Class Leader Board and Leader Board all being contenders. For boxing it was TKO with both Fight Night and Star Rank Boxing being contenders. The last category was "Olympic-Style Games" and the winner there was The Games: Summer Edition with World Games and Winter Challenge being the other contenders. Guide to Commodore User Groups, Part 2 - Part 2 of a guide that includes contact information for user groups in every state.
