So many questions... was it
ZZAP! or ZZAP! 64 or just Zzap? Were we supposed to pronounce it
ZerZap or just Zap? How come it's sister mag wasn't CerCRASH? Did
Lloyd Mangram really exist?? All these questions and more will be
ignored on this exciting web site.

Erm, well here it is - the ultimate guide to ZZAP! 64 covering
issues 41 (September 1988) to 50 (June 1989), otherwise known as
"The Houghton Hamza Glancey Evans Mangram Years..." For many years
this was the best selling Commodore magazine around.

Before you ask, no I don't really know what any of the reviewers
are doing these days and I cannot contact them for you. This web
site is a totally independent thing, done by myself with the help of
my old back issues of ZZAP! 64

If you're looking for serious reviews and tips taken from the
magazine, then take a look at the other ZZAP! web sites on the links page.

Sadly Newsfield, the publisher, went bankrupt some years ago.
ZZAP! 64 is long gone, but not forgotten!

Some notable events that happened during 88/89 include...

Issue 41 (September 1988) saw Matthew Evans join ZZAP! Towers to
help Paul Glancey as a staff writer along with the Gordon Houghton
as the big bad ed.

Rockford and Thingy were voted back in by the readers in
issue 42 (October 1988).

To complete the ultimate team of reviewers, the wonderful Kati
Hamza joined ZAPP! in issue 43 (November 1988) to become the
Assistant Editor who came over from their sister magazine CRASH.

Paul Glancey left in issue 46 (February 1989). I guess he just
couldn't take the abuse any longer.

In issue 49 (May 1989) ZZAP! finally managed to get a replacement
for Paul Glancey, in the form of Paul Rand. However, I didn't know
much about this guy as just two issues later ZZAP! 64 was to be
totally changed forever and it was goodbye to the present reviewers,
and as far as I was concerned, goodbye ZZAP!

Right, that's it for now. I hope you enjoy this web site and it
brings back a few good memories.
