#2I only clicked the link because the title didn’t spell out “years” and having clicked the link, I don’t get it at all. I need to click a second link inside the website, hopeful I click the right one?

#3Iirc the “gazette” version of Compute! Was focused on Commodore machines, whereas Compute was a polyglot of several popular US machines. Theses magazines were a lifeline to a lot of us in the 80’s pre internet. It reminds me how amazing this age is, with regard to freely available information.

#5I can't find any evidence that they've acquired or licensed the name / trademarks from Ziff Davis, the last known holder of Compute's IP, so I would be wary of giving them any money.
Also the content gives off strong AI vibes

#6I worked for Compute! magazine when I was in high school (an excellent job, porting games for one PC to another) and so maybe it's just a me thing, but it seems weird to name this "Compute's Gazette" when there's no connection to the original magazine, besides fandom.

What was your most and least favorite computer to port games to?

#8This is great news for those of us who are into retro computing.
Not just because its a great magazine, but it indicates the rise of the retro-computing market as a source of revenue.
There is very definitely an upswell of interest in older computing platforms. As someone who has kept every computer he's ever coded on since 1978, and regularly exhibits them in functioning condition (over 40,000 visitors at one exhibit here in Vienna, alone) I am 100% going to subscribe to this and support its continued publication.
Old computers never die. Their users do.

I want it to be true. There's really not much information out there on it or the CEO that I can find.
My first question was if there's was enough retro material for a monthly.
