Compute! (ISSN 0194-357X), often stylized as COMPUTE!, was an American home computer magazine that was published from 1979 to 1994. Its origins can be traced to 1978 in Len Lindsay's PET Gazette, one of the first magazines for the Commodore PET computer.[1] In its 1980s heyday, Compute! covered all major platforms, and several single-platform spinoffs of the magazine were launched. The most successful of these was Compute!'s Gazette, which catered to VIC-20, Commodore 64, and later the Commodore 128 computer users.
Compute provided programs for users to type in, usually in Basic. These included programs such as games and utilities. Sometimes they would provide programs written in assembly to be typed out in a utility called MLX. They also provided technical advice in some of their articles.
