_{Cover of the March 1989 issue of Computer Gaming World}

Computer Gaming World would eventually become a PC only magazine but in 1989 it was still covering other machines such as the Amiga, Atari ST and Commodore 64. The March 1989 issue includes:

Features

Decisive Battles of the Civil War, Vol. III - Review of this Civil War strategy game from SSG for the Commodore 64 (also available for the Apple II). This game recreates historic battles that occurred between May 1864 and April 1865.

Road Raider - Review of this apparently Mad Max inspired game for the Amiga (also available for the Atari ST and Commodore 64).

Heavy Metal - Review of this tank combat game for the Commodore 64. It combines elements of strategy, arcade action and simulation and like Echelon, is advertised to work the the Lip Stik which was simply a cheap headset with microphone that fired your weapon when you said "fire" or anything at all.

Grand Prix Circuit - Accolade's classic racing game reviewed here for the Commodore 64 (also available for DOS). I had this game for the C64 and I would spend hours recreating full length races. It's amazing my hands still function.
