Commodore User

It started life as "Vic Computing" in April 1982, being originally a magazine dedicated to the Commodore VIC-20. As more advanced Commodore computers were brought out, coverage of the VIC-20 dropped, and it changed its name to "Commodore User" starting from the issue of October 1983. It was originally intended for discussion of "serious" computing, but over the next few years, it became more and more devoted to computer games. By 1985, most of the coverage was for the Commodore 64, but again, the coverage changed when the Amiga came out, and material on the Commodore 64 gradually disappeared. By 1989, the name had been changed to "CU", and mostly covered the Amiga. It changed its name again, to "CU Amiga", and finally came to an end with its October 1998 issue.

One of its writers was Mike Pattenden.
