An image gallery of cheesy -- and cheese-cakey -- magazine covers from
what were for me the golden days.
But the UK mags weren't ever like this.
Some of the names, and the typos, are highly amusing.

However, CRASH and Zzap!64 had some rather homoerotic covers instead, painted
by Oli Frey. Just the thing for confused teenage boys still too young to reach the
top shelf in the newsagent's.
He's still around, and sells some right mucky paintings these days.

I liked the one with the guy seated at a "desk" which is apparently
outfitted with nothing more than a color dot-matrix printer and a telephone
set. Must be a serious power-user, then..
But, at least to my eye, the women are much more attractive than the
typical eastern-european models - with their unending parade of angular
eyes and faces with unnaturally high cheekbones.

Yes, I liked that. And WORDPERFERCT. :-D

I live in (arguably) Eastern Europe. If that's your stereotype of
Slavic women, I can assure you it's incorrect.
OTOH this is their reaction to British beauty...

Most weren't. I have an issue of one of the unofficial Mega Drive magazines
from the early 90's which did have a hot picture of
Madchen Amick inside the
back cover.

...looks like cover of German film, you know what kind of film... I would love to know why
that photo. Is there article "How to kill your sex life with 64 kilobytes?"

Or he is typical 80s yuppie, he has no ****** clue about the computers (nor printers), he
has reach state where he can sit behind the printer, get good pay checks and look girls in
the office all day long. In the phone he is trying to get cocaine and supermodels to his
mansion. What a great job he has! (...until stock market crashes...)

Probably become marked as a sexual minorty by buying the magazine wasn't only reason
for death of the Zzap!64, bigger problem was at the 90s that you become marked as C64 user
;)
