ISSN?

I am trying to find the ISSN for this magazine. Is this article's topic, Commodore Power, the same magazine as Commodore Power Play, which is ISSN 0739-8018? Or are these two different magazines? The article indicates Commodore Power is a UK publication and the link I provided to Commodore Power Play indicates it was published in Pennsylvania ... but otherwise, it feels like it might be a match?

Can the article main title for Commodore Power Play please be reverted back to Commodore Power as these are both different magazines. Commodore Power/Play was, as you said, a US publication in the 1980's and Commodore Power was a UK publication during the early 1990's. Thanks. Nreive 14:03, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Commodore Power/Play and Commodore Microcomputers were both put out by Commodore in the 80s. The former was the home/game oriented magazine and the latter was more business oriented but, being a Commodore magazine there wasn't much business-oriented stuff to print so it ended up basically being a clone of the other one. They were published in alternating months IIRC, each 6 issues a year until Commodore merged them in 1986/87 or so to form Commodore Magazine which was monthly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.110.223 (talk) 14:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That may be so, but there was also a Commodore Power UK magazine which was launched in the early 90's. As the article states, the staff conisted of the recently closed Your Commodore UK magazine (Rik Henderson and Jeff Davy). Very similar to YC and indeed I still remember one of the games given away on the covermounted cassette was Frosty the Snowman. -- Nreive (Talk) 09:11, 09 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
