CDROM is the flavour of the month. One of these is having issue 1 bundled with next month's issue of Computer Shopper, due out the 1st week of April. Although I can't remember the title of this magazine, it is definitely a different title to the one Barry posted, as I compared the flyer and the ad in Computer Shopper. The magazine PC Power has started mounting cover CDs this month. It is available in 2 flavours, either HD floppy disk or CDROM, at different prices. This month's CDROM has 60 game demos. I had a chat with the bloke in Smith's. He mentioned at least one other title, which I also can't remember, due out during the next month. Adding these to PC Home, which is already available in both floppy and CD formats, there will very shortly be 5 PC and CDROM based magazines. I also noticed that there is at least one title each for Amiga and Sega. Unlike Barry, I shall be subscribing to Multimedia & CD-Rom World, although at present I have no reason to suppose that it is any better than any other magazine. However the subscription offer does allow you to get a refund of the unused portion of the subscription at any time. So I shall give it a whirl.
