Compute! was probably the best multi-format computer magazine of the mid 1980s though I mostly stuck with Commodore specific magazines. In February 1986 a wide variety of computers were covered including the Commodore 64, PC/DOS machines, Apple II, Atari ST, Macintosh, TI-99/4A, Atari 8-bit, Amiga, and probably others. Features from this issue include: Genealogy of a Chip: The 68000 Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow - The 16-bit Motorola 68000 CPU was at the heart of the next generation of computers including the Amiga, Atari ST and Macintosh. While concentrating on the 68000, this article discusses the origin of a number of CPUs, including the 8088, 4004, 6502 and others. A Quantum Leap: From 6502 to 68000 - More about the 68000 and all the things that makes it better than the 6502 that 8-bit computers such as the Commodore 64, Apple II and Atari 8-bit were based on. High Rise - A type-in game in which you are a worker who must descend a partially completed high rise building while avoiding pitfalls such as a giant bird and a patrol robot. There are versions for the Commodore 64, Apple II, and Atari 8-bit. Read more: https://hive.blog/retrocomputing/@darth-azrael/compute-february-1986-6efd6b85309bb #retrocomputing #technology #computers
