_{Cover of the April 1992 issue of Zzap! 64}

I have no doubt this would have been my favorite magazine for a time if it had been available in the U.S. Most of my early game playing experience (after the Atari 2600 of course) was on a Commodore 64. The April 1992 issue includes:

Features

• Budokan - Review of this fighting game from Electronic Arts. Reminds me a bit of Yie ar Kung Fu.


• The Shoe People - An educational game featuring shoes from First Class/Gremlin that, as far as I know, never made it to the U.S.


• Alien World - A pretty solid sci-fi themed shooter from Hi-Tec.
