An Old Computer Magazine

A complete copy of a British magazine: December 1986 issue of PC Plus.

This issue of PC Plus hit the shelves when 512kb of RAM was enough for most people, CGA graphics still had the power to impress, and advertisers could get away with claiming that helpful characters in word processors would one day be a great idea. Alan Sugar's Amstrad was the dominant player in PC technology, and the idea of buying a PC to help with the kids' homework had yet to be revealed as the fantasy it would so quickly become. Join us on this trip through the archives, as we look back at the very first PC Plus.

Back then, you could dominate the world if you had the right modem.
