Softline

 Series
Identifier: MAG-SOFTLINE

Scope and Contents

This is a partial collection of Softline, missing a few issues from 1992–1994.

Due to an apparent error, the issue number Volume 2, Issue 4 is accidentally repeated in May-June 1983, and issue numbering is thrown off for the rest of the magazine's run. This collection uses the corrected issue numbers, which are typically how the magazine is referred to by enthusiasts.

Volume numbers on the cover of issues published in 1984 are also inaccurate, also apparently due to an error.

Abstract

Softline was a spinoff of the Apple II user magazine Softalk focusing on computer games, which the premiere issue declared to be "the primary use" for personal computers at the time. The bimonthly magazine ran from 1981 to 1984, briefly rebranding as St.Game in the final issue, after which it was dicontinued along with the original Softalk.
