C-lehti (sometimes written as C=lehti) ('C-magazine') was a Finnish computer magazine targeted specifically at Commodore computers. It was in circulation between 1987 and 1992.

History and profile

C-lehti was started in 1987[1][2] as a spin-off of MikroBitti and was published six times per year.[3] It was Finland's first ever computer magazine to only cover one specific family of computers. Originally, it covered the Commodore 64 (and to a lesser extent, its "bigger brother" Commodore 128) and the Amiga computers, but later it became more and more Amiga-centric, as the 64 and 128 were rapidly becoming obsolete. The magazine was part of Sanoma.[4]

Later, as the Amiga was also becoming obsolete and lost market share to the

games consoles, C-lehti discontinued and was renamed Pelit in 1992.[1][3]
There were 29 magazine issues in total.

A character in C-lehti was the

computer games, he was called the Peliguru ("game guru") and had a joystick
on top of his head. The Guru was never used again after the magazine was discontinued.
