Big K (magazine)

Big K was a short-lived multi format magazine published by IPC Magazines Ltd during the 1980s. The design of the magazine was very similar in style to their comic strip publications at the time, 2000ad and Roy of the Rovers and seemed to be aimed squarely at the younger computer user despite the type-in software listings for which the reader needed a real (8bit) computer. Listings where provided for VIC, ORIC, DRAGON, COMMODORE, ZX81, ZX SPECTRUM Big K typeins for ZX Spectrum, BBC
