Cover of the May 1987 issue of Your Commodore


Your Commodore was a U.K. published magazine for Commodore 8-bit computers. This mostly meant the Commodore 64 and 128 but it also covered machines like the C16 and Plus/4. The May 1987 issue includes:

Features

  • Gunship - This month's game of the month. This is a combat flight simulator featuring the Apache AH-64A. It was about as realistic as it got at the time.

  • Byting Into The 6510 - The first in a series of articles on machine code programming for the 6410.

  • Platform Panic - A look at some of the most influential platform games of the time, including Impossible Mission, Wizard, Bounty Bob Strikes Back, Cauldron II, Hercules, and Monty on the Run.

  • Image System - A detailed look at this graphics software for the Commodore 64.
