I worked for Compute! magazine when I was in high school (an excellent job, porting games for one PC to another) and so maybe it's just a me thing, but it seems weird to name this "Compute's Gazette" when there's no connection to the original magazine, besides fandom.

What was your most and least favorite computer to port games to?

TI-99/4a was the worst for me, but I think the entire reason I was hired was that everyone else hated porting to the Apple //.

Undoubtedly because the Apple II's graphics and sound sucked royally.
