  • Zzap!64 was a computer games magazine covering games on the Commodore International series of computers, especially the Commodore 64 (C64). It was published in the UK by Newsfield Publications Ltd and later by Europress Impact. The magazine launched in April, with the cover date May 1985, as the sister magazine to CRASH. It focused on the C64 for much of its shelf life, but later incorporated Amiga game news and reviews. Like CRASH for the ZX Spectrum, it had a dedicated cult following amongst C64 owners and was well known for its irreverent sense of humour as well as its extensive, detailed coverage of the C64 scene. The magazine adopted an innovative review system that involved the use of the reviewers' faces, artistically rendered by in-house artists Oli Frey and Mark Kendrick, to express their reaction to the games. These eventually evolved into static cartoons as the magazine began catering for a younger market. By 1992, the magazine had changed so dramatically in design and editorial direction that then-publisher Europress decided to relaunch the magazine. Thus, issue 91 of Zzap!64 became issue 1 of Commodore Force, a magazine that itself lasted until March 1994.
  • Zzap!64 était un magazine britannique spécialisé dans l'actualité vidéoludique du Commodore 64 et Amiga. Apparu en avril 1985, il traite uniquement de l'actualité Commodore 64. À partir d'octobre 1988, il est renommé Zzap!C64 Amiga et propose désormais des tests complets sur Amiga. En juin 1991, il redevient un magazine exclusivement centré sur le C64 et disparaît en novembre 1992, après 90 numéros.
  • Zzap! era una rivista dedicata ai videogiochi nell'epoca degli home computer ad 8-bit, edita dalla Newsfield Publications Ltd (e in seguito dalla Europress Impact) in Regno Unito.
  • ZZap! 64, datorspelstidning för CBM's C64-dator. Första numret utkom 1985. Från början innehöll den enbart information om c64-spel men under 1988 började man med att då och då även beröra Amiga-spel. Från och med oktober 1988 blev Amiga en permanent del i tidningen ända tills nummer 74 då tidningen återgick till att bara beröra c64-spel. Nummer 90 blev officiellt det sista numret av ZZap! 64 eftersom tidningen då bytte namn på grund av ägarbyte. Det nya namnet blev Commodore Force.
