I don't think I even became aware of RUN until pieces of Commodore Magazine were folded into it after that magazine's last issue. That's a shame because this was a really good magazine for Commodore 64/128 owners though I loved Commodore Magazine's coverage of the Amiga as well, despite not owning one at the time. The September 1987 issue of RUN includes:

Features

• Online Services Overview - Join a telecommunications network and access libraries of information, chat with other computerists, purchase merchandise and much more.
• The Online Arcade - Gaming is more fun than ever when you play online.
• Plug Into Telecommunications - To get online, you need a modem and a terminal program. Read how this hardware and software works and what to look for when you shop for a modem.
• 128 Notepad - Now, RUN's popular desktop accessory for the C-64 works on the C-128, too.
• Summer CES: The Show Goes On - The vitality of the C-64 and C-128 was evident at this summer's Consumer Electronics Show. Unfortunately, Commodore missed the fun.
