Commodore Format was the last commercial C64 magazine to be published in english, arriving on the scene as late as October 1990. Published by Future Publishing, Commodore Format concentrated solely on the Commodore 64, where as Zzap!64 still featured Amiga reviews.
The launch editorial staff, which mostly consisted of journalists who had worked on Zzap! 64 at sometime in the past, included Steve Jarratt (Editor), Sean Masterson (Deputy Editor), Andy Dyer (Staff Writer), with contributions from the likes of Gordon Houghton and Kati Hamza.
Magazine content included Early Warning (previews), news, reviews (games rated 90% or above received a 'It's A Corker' accolade), challenges and many others featured in each issue.
Commodore Format quickly gained a huge circulation figure and when Zzap!64 went through all it's problems CF kept going from strength to strength.
After Zzap! disappeared (for the second time), CF carried on as the sole commercially produced english C64 publication. By the end of its life CF was forced to reduce the page count and content, eventually ceasing publication with its last issue dated October 1995.
