Your 64 was a British magazine dedicated to Commodore computers, published by Sportscene Specialist Press. The magazine was initially called Your 64 & VIC 20, then it was renamed Your 64 from issue 7 (Mar 1985) onwards. It started as a bi-monthly magazine in April 1984, and turned monthly with issue 6 (Feb 1985). A total of 14 issues were published, then it was incorporated into Argus Specialist Publications' Your Commodore magazine. The editors were Bruce Sawford (issue 1), Surya (issues 2-7), Roger Munford (issues 8-10), Roger Andout (issue 11) and Alison Hjul (issues 12-14).
First issue, for example, contained an in-depth review of the new SX-64 and had some great technical articles such as Scratchpad, which described how to make your own reset switch on a C64. It also had a smallish games section and a couple of programs to type in.
Same type of contents and articles about programming in machine code and other interesting reports appeared in every one of Your 64 magazine, with some variations from one to another.
The title lasted 14 issues, until it was joined into forementioned Your Commodore. This one will be considered in a next future for a new post here in my blog, due to its listings, specially games, of a good quality.
Talking about programs to be typed, all 14 issues contained at least two or three BASIC listings with parts or a lot of machine code to copy in your Commodore home-computer, mostly for C64 one. To make it easier, most of programs listings from the magazine was preserved and archived in few Commodore-dedicated web archives: Gamebase 64 and its Paradro.id mirror (for downloading them) and VIC-20 Listings. Also, only Commodore 64 games can be found at C64.cz, too...
