_{Cover of the November 1987 issue of Zzap! 64}

Here in the U.S., we never had a gaming magazine dedicated to the Commodore 64. I would have loved such a thing, especially as this one, published in the U.K. was published well into the 1990s and I was still using my Commodore 64 as my primary computer up through most of 1993. The November 1987 issue of Zzap! 64 includes:

Redoubtable Regulars

Editorial - Info on a new editor at the magazine.

The Rrap - Letters from readers about arcade conversions, the cost of Zzap! in Ireland, competition questions, Microprose, and more.

Enter The Harlequin - A solution to Kayleth, an adventure game from US Gold. Plus, news about an upcoming adventures games, including Jack the Ripper.

Compunet - A look at the latest demos available via Compunet.
