_{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.

In Harm's Way - Review of this tactical naval combat game for DOS (also available for the Apple II, Commodore 64, and Atari ST) that covers battles in the Pacific between 1943 and 1944.

Twilight Zone Hints - Hints for the game Twilight Zone.

Battles of Napoleon - Review of this strategy game for the Apple II that covers the Napoleonic period.

Tower Toppler - A review of this addictive arcade style game for the Commodore 64 (also available for the Amiga, Atari ST, Apple II, and DOS) in which you must climb to the top of a tower while avoiding obstacles.

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.

Might & Magic II - Review of this classic role-playing game sequel for the Apple II (coming soon at the time of review for the Commodore 64 and DOS).
