== History == === Target market ===
The CPC Schneider International originally aimed at the semi-professional CPC user.
In late issues there were even reviews of scene demos.
=== Its names ===
During its lifetime, the magazine changed its name quite a few times:
As of 10/1991, the publisher decided to drop the PC section and concentrate on the CPCs and PCWs/Joyces only, so the magazine was renamed a fourth and last time: "CPC Amstrad International".
=== The early years ===
The magazine started in 03/1985 as '''CPC Schneider International'''.
The hardware and software test sections were well supported by the hardware vendors and software distributors and there were enough advertisers to ensure the magazine earned money.
=== Adding PC coverage ===
The magazine was renamed to '''PC Schneider International''' to reflect the additional PC coverage inside.
At this time, the CPCs and the magazine were still going strong.
=== The Schneider → Amstrad name change ===
To reflect the changeover from Schneider to Amstrad, the magazine was renamed to '''PC Amstrad/Schneider International''' first and '''PC Amstrad International''' later.
As at about the same time new, more powerful home computers like the Amiga and Atari ST were announced or even became available, this was the beginning of the end for the CPC in Germany.
=== The final years ===
The magazine was renamed "back" to '''CPC Amstrad International''' again.
