The Microzine series was a high quality educational disk magazine published by Scholastic software for the Apple II family of computers.

Scholastiic published Microzine four issues per school year. Each issue had an interactive text adventure, called a “Twistaplot”, a type of “Choose Your Own Adventure” story that Scholastic was also selling as a print book at the time. The magazine also had a program that demonstrated something that a computer could do (such as a word processing or database use), another program, and a final smaller program the emulated some of the content of a print magazine (letters to the editor, jokes submitted by readers, and a puzzle). The second editor of Microzine, Amy (McKinley) Kefauver, stated, “Our goal was to make the kids able to use the programs without ever having to ask for help. The programs were designed to have a help screen constantly available by pressing the ‘?’ key.”
