Awesome! It was such a rare time. Nothing like it will ever occur again I don’t think..

There were SO many Commodore ads and articles in that magazine. I’m guessing this was a version of Compute! just geared toward Commodore correct?

It’s called “Compute!’s Gazette For Commodore Personal Computer Users”, so: yes.
I did see that but just wasn’t sure as I remember Compute! being more general purpose and I guess never realized they had offshoots oriented to specific platforms
If I recall correctly, the C64 was the only machine they did this for.
No, COMPUTE!'s Gazette was not C64 specific. It covered all the Commodore 8-bit home systems: VIC-20, C64, Commodore 16/Plus/4, C128. It started with the VIC-20 and C64 as that is all there was, and in the end it only covered C64/128. The C64 was certainly the only model the Gazette covered during its entire lifetime.
