in Germany:
First there was Tele Match, covering console games and 8-bit computers (lots of Atari 800). Tele Match was great, taking many reviews and stories from the top USA magazine, Electronic Games.
Later we had Happy Computer, which of couse, gave us Turbo Basic XL, but HC was also a multi format magazine, concentrating on C64, XL, CPC computers (later ST, IBM, Amiga). HC issued many 'specials', including some very decent Atari 8bit special issues. There was never any computer bashing (a few readers letters perhaps), but compairing featured a lot.
The Spectrum thankfully, was not popular at all in Germany, although Aktueller Software Markt (multi format gaming magazine) reviewed many Spectrum games in the early days. ASM also reviewed A8 titles whenever possible.
Later again (86 onwards) , Germany (finally) had it's own Atari magazine, with the very creative name of 'Atari Magazin', covering A8 and ST.
Germans Hauptbahnhof (train stations) was always a good source for USA and UK magazines, Antic was like DM 15, and C&VG (UK) was DM 5. Analog sometimes popped up, but not very regular, or it was always quickly sold out. Working for the US Army at the time, usually I could go into the barracks library and get my Antic and Analog fix there.
In Germany, I did subscribe to Atari User, this was always a treat, a special A8 magazine, coming from UK.
Most single platform magazine in Germany was without a doubt, the C64 series, I think they had like 7 different titles available, many of them with a cover disk.
