COMPUTE!'s Gazette ISSN 0737-3716 COMPUTE!'s Gazette was a spin-off of COMPUTE! magazine. While COMPUTE! covered computers in addition to Commodores, COMPUTE!'s Gazette was Commodore-specific. COMPUTE!'s Gazette was published from July 1983 to February 1995. It started publishing companion disks in April 1984. Between October 1990 and December 1993 it was combined with COMPUTE! in a separate section of the magazine. It then switched to a disk-only magazine format in January 1994 and ceased publishing with the February 1995 issue. COMPUTE!'s Gazette can be searched through CARL Uncover at . This partial index of COMPUTE!'s Gazette was compiled from various sources by Dan Fandrich , Sami Rautiainen, Michael Heinrichs and Jeno E.
