_{Cover of the September 1992 issue of CPC Attack}

The Amstrad CPC was a computer that you probably have never heard of if you live in North America. However, it was quite popular in the U.K. It was one of several 8-bit computers available at the time and survived well into the 1990s as this magazine shows. This computer featured a Z80 CPU. While a large portion of this magazine may have been gaming content it also covered more serious uses of the machine. The September 1992 issue includes:

Specials
