Microzine 01

The Microzine series was a high quality educational disk magazine published by Scholastic software for the Apple II family of computers.

The first issue of Microzine was first displayed at the January 1983 Consumer Electronics Show, and was available in stores by March 1983. The box containing the first issue was in the unusual shape of a parallelogram, and contained a mystery adventure that involved exploring a haunted house, a computerized notebook for keeping “secret” information, a program for creating computer graphics, and an interactive interview with Robert McNaughton, who played Elliott’s brother Michael in the 1982 movie, E.T. – The Extra-Terrestrial.
