The Commodore Games That Live On and On (Compute!'s Gazette - December 1987)

This is an article scanned from the December 1987 issue of Compute!'s Gazette that details the top three best-selling Commodore 64 games from 13 major publishers: Access Software, Accolade, Activision, Avalon Hill, Broderbund, Electronic Arts, Epyx, Firebird, Infocom, MicroProse Software, Mindscape, SubLogic, and Strategic Simulations Inc. (SSI). That's 39 games covered across only four pages, of which I've played a dozen on C64 and one on another platform.

LEGO's Big-Rig Truck Stop is a 586-piece set released in 1987 and rated for ages 7-12. It includes five mini-figures, three trucks, and two connected buildings on two road base plates. The two plates can sit side-by-side as one single road or they can be rotated to place the buildings back-to-back and the roads parallel to one another. My box has a Toys "R" Us price tag on it that indicates it cost $42.99. As I mention in the video, I had to cheat in a couple spots as I couldn't quite find all the pieces. I only point out one of the missing pieces which is on the back of the blue truck, while the other is the red roof on the large building. In the manual it appears as if that is all one piece but I had to use three pieces.
