Commander-ROM Commander-ROM was a Philips "club" magazine, published in Germany, dedicated to Philips computers and games. According to Dutch collector René van den Enden, subscribers had to pay a small fee to join the club, then received the magazine for free. It was published about four times a year, starting in 1982. Each issue contained 16 pages. It's not known how long the magazine ran, but it continued at least until issue 3 of 1984. Of particular note is issue #1 of 1984, for it contains an article that lists "Spiderman" as a planned release from Parker Bros. This is one of the very few known print references to the G7000 version of Spider-Man. All of the following scans were contributed by René van den Enden:
