LEANDER, TEXAS — August 17, 2026 — Print copies of the August 2026 issue of COMPUTE!’s Gazette shipped today, bound for subscriber mailboxes across the United States and around the world. Every subscriber has had the digital edition in their inbox since August 9; the physical edition now begins its journey through the mail stream.
Issue #14 continues the magazine’s push into networked 8-bit computing — the thread that ran through last month’s anniversary issue and shows no sign of letting up. Readers will find coverage of multiplayer 8-bit gaming, more type-in listings built for machines that talk to each other, and the ongoing story of what happens when hardware designed in the era of the sneakernet gets a live connection to the rest of the world.
As always, the issue spans the full breadth of the era: Commodore, Atari, Amiga, TRS-80, Apple II, and the modern successors — Commander X16 and MEGA65 — that keep the 8-bit design tradition alive.
