Commodore World Volume 1, Issue 4
I think that Commodore World was the last professional Commodore 8-bit magazine published in the U.S. It was published bi-monthly in the mid to late 1990s. This issue isn't dated that I see but I believe it would have been from near the end of 1994. Issue number four of Commodore World includes:
