The official magazine for the Amstrad CPC, the first 14 issues were published directly by AMSOFT, a division of Amstrad Consumer Electronics plc. Later issues by Amstrad Computer User (Feb 1986), by Avralite Ltd (Oct 1986)... Focus Magazines Ltd (May/Apr? 1989)... Avralite Publications Ltd (Jun? 1989)... MCM Ltd and/or MCPC Ltd (19xx?).. last issue(s) by HHL Publishing.
The magazine went through various stages, updating it's name slightly, updating its cover logos and other various magazine transformations over the years. In January 1989, CPC Computing (formerly Computing with the Amstrad) was rolled into the magazine, and this was evident by the 'With CPC Computing' logo that appeared on the cover until July 1989.
This magazine "became" CPC Attack after May 1992 (the 91st magazine). There is an ACU News Article here about this.
