Commodore Format

Commodore Format was a British magazine for users of the Commodore 64 home computer. It was published on the third Thursday of every month. All 61 issues were produced by Future plc. These came towards the end of the machine's commercial life - from October 1990 until October 1995. The magazine would however be in publication for two more years after commercial software for the machine ceased, in which articles were mainly tech-related and reviews of new games were from Public Domain publishers.
