What Dragon Owners Were Reading

In the 1980s Britain had Dragon User, a monthly magazine for Dragon owners. In this series I work through the issues one by one and tell what was in them: prices, news, readers' letters and listings to type in.

• DRAGON USERJuly 19833The King on Top, and the Boss from WalesA taxi driver who knows where you are going, a robot on the desk, and a club that began in a croupier’s flat.
• DRAGON USERJune 19832When the King of the Apes Had to Change His NameA third of Dragons sold at the chemist's, a game that had to change its name, and a joystick where down meant up.
• DRAGON USERMay 19831When the Dragon Got a Magazine of Its OwnA computer for £199.50, a disk drive that cost more than it, and readers fighting their cassettes.

From the same time: Dragon Data adverts.

Newest first. More issues are on the way. We do not host the magazine itself: each issue links to the full scan on archive.org.
