'''''Commodore Power/Play''''' was a one of a pair of computer magazines published by [[Commodore Business Machines]] in the [[USA|United States]] in support of their [[8-bit]] [[home computer]] lines of the 1980s. The other was called ''Commodore Microcomputers''. The two magazines were published on an alternating, bimonthly schedule.

''Power/Play'' was targeted at the home computer user, emphasizing [[video games]], educational and hobbyist uses of the [[Commodore 64]]/[[Commodore 128|128]] and [[Commodore VIC-20]] models.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.commodore.ca/manuals/c64_programmers_reference/c64-programmers_reference_guide-00-toc_introduction.pdf|title=Commodore 64 Programmers Reference Guide|quote=When it comes to entertainment, learning at home and practical home applications, Power/Play is THE prime source of information for Commodore home users}}</ref> ''Commodore Microcomputers'' initially served Commodore's business customers using the [[Commodore PET|PET]] and [[Commodore CBM-II|CBM]] lines but as the business market segments standardized on [[CP/M]] and later [[MS-DOS]], the coverage of the two magazines essentially overlapped, until the November 1986 issue, when both magazines were switched from a bi-monthly to a monthly schedule and retitled ''Commodore Magazine''.<ref>[http://amr.abime.net/issue_2672]</ref>
