Project image for ZZap 64 2021 Annual

I just backed this - it's my entire childhood  o:)

Got the mug  B)



Thinking back, there was something special about Commodore 64. Of course we've got VR today, but can't really compete with true CBM64 diamonds. Or maybe we were just easier to impress in the old days - loved the demo scene too. To this day I wouldn't argue if someone claimed that Rob Hubbard was better than Mozart  ;)

    No seriously I have never ever EVER heard of this thing before.  I loved to make Qbasic programs for the C64.

    Good times...

    It was pretty much the top Magazine for the C64 game reviews back in the day but granted it was printed in the UK so i have no clue where you are. Reliable reviews, awesome demo cassettes ( which people will pay good money for )  and the fantastic cover artwork became legend.

    Pah! The Sinclair Speccy 48K was MILES better. All the best people owned one back in the 80s. B)

    Sinclair User was my gaming magazine of choice in those days!

    Yeah, the graphics in my CBM64 games looked exactly like these cover illustrations, at least in my mind  :D
