Source: BigK – Issue Number 12 – March 1985
Big K was a short lived gaming magazine published in the U.K. in the 1980s (1984-1985 specifically). It also incorporated some of the contents of TV Gamer which apparently bit the dust just before Big K but that wasn’t enough to save it. The decision to cease publication must have been up in the air for a while as there was a new competition introduced and some to be continued articles included in the final issue. On the other hand, an obituary was also included for the magazine. The final issue from March 1985 includes:
