Zzap! 64 was a gaming magazine dedicated to the Commodore 64 and published in the U.K. Living in the U.S., I was not aware of its existence but I'm sure it's something I would have loved. While there were several Commodore 64 magazines, we didn't have any dedicated to gaming on the C64. The June 1987 issue includes:
