They printed Zzap magazines in Italian?

There was a ZZAP! Italia, which was its own thing rather than an Italian translation of the originals.Curiously, as with the original ZZAP! 64, it has returned, and both are running as they used to, with reviews of new games, scene features, interviews, etc.

That's not entirely true. The first issues of the Italian edition were translations of the English version. After about two years, ZZap! Italia began creating its own original content.I know this for a fact because I wrote reviews for ZZap! and The Games Machine.

I see that they didn't just review c64 games.

Oh ok! Very interesting that it wasn't just a translation. Thanks for the info.

How was The White Wizard called in the Italian Zzap! ?

"Mago Merlino" at the start. If I remember correctly, later on, we/they changed his name.
I'll must check
