I don’t think I even became aware of RUN until pieces of Commodore Magazine were folded into it after that magazine’s last issue. That’s a shame because this was a really good magazine for Commodore 64/128 owners though I loved Commodore Magazine’s coverage of the Amiga as well, despite not owning one at the time. The September 1987 issue of RUN includes:
