Image creative computing 1980 04 flipside.jpg thumb right Flip Side of the April 1980 issue, with a parody of various computer magazines. Creative Computing was one of the earliest magazines covering the microcomputer revolution . Published from 1974 until December 1985, Creative Computing covered the whole spectrum of hobbyist home personal computing in a more accessible format than the rather technically oriented BYTE magazine BYTE . The magazine was founded by David H. Ahl , who sold it to Ziff Davis in the early 1980s, but remained as Editor in Chief. Featured writers included Robert Swirsky , David Lubar , and John J. Anderson . The magazine regularly included BASIC source code for utility programs and games, which users could manually enter into their home computers. At the end of its run, Creative Computing was attempting to refocus on business computing as was the trend in most computer magazines of the time , but was not successful at this and ultimately ceased publication. Ted Nelson , known for the invention of hypertext , was briefly the editor. The April, 1980 issue of Creative Computing contained clever parodies of all of the major computer magazines of the time.
