Very interesting! Never saw this magazine on ebay or somewhere else.
Btw: In my head there is an announcement from ITT in one or more TeleMatch issues, I *think* they announced a club as well. I would have to look in my TeleMatch collection, but I am pretty sure. Of course I don't know if the club really started or if they had a club magazine ...
Das taugt mir!
Aber mit wenig Ei bitte …
I have two stickers from the ITT Club, I think it was called "ITT Highscore Club", but I have to check that. I've never seen a magazine by them.
There was also a Club for the Radofin, Acetronic, etc. in the UK called "Invader Club" (or something like that) but I've never seen a magazine from them too.

Thanks! I've added Video Giochi News and Electronic Games. I think the other ones don't belong in this list as they are to “new” or computer magazines?!
Do you have any more informations about "Computer Games"? Maybe a place where I can find scans or cover scans?
I have 2 issues of Computer Games, published by "Peruzzo Editore" in 1984. The magazine was a sort of "imitation" of Video Giochi, but wasn't very good actually, so I think it lived around 1 year only.
Super VIC, Super Sinc and Super Commodore are computer-related. List is also computer-related and featured a lot of BASIC listings of programs.
Zzap! was the Italian edition of the world-famous English magazine, and it ranged from C64 to Amstrad, Spectrum and a few more modern consoles. It lived 1986 to 1993.

unfortunately it lived very shortly. I have issues 3 and 6, but I think it didn't made to issue 12... actually teh mag was a little bit crap, an "imitation" to Videogiochi, but there are nice articles like specials on Lasergames, etc.
Unfortunately I have no issues with any articles on creatiVision - and I suppose I'll have hard times in getting more issues of that magazine - never seen it on Ebay!

Would be very interesting if any club magazins from those clubs were ever published. If anyone knows more about that or even has ITT or Acetronic club magazines, please let us know! <img decoding="async" class="wp-smiley" src="/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt="

Not a magazine, but the membership-form for the Invaders Club:
