Cover of the November 1992 issue of Zzap! 64
Zzap! 64 was something we didn't have here in the U.S. and that is a gaming magazine dedicated to the Commodore 64. This issue is from 1992 and there was no longer much going on in terms of gaming (or anything else) for the Commodore 64 at that time. Which explains why this issue was the last (though it would be replaced by Commodore Force (also published in the U.K.) which would continue on for a little while. The November 1992 issue of Zzap! 64 includes:
