Videogames and Computer Entertainment was definetly the king of gaming magazines back in the day. They were so thick, with so much coverage, and on every system imaginable. Systems that didn't get coverage in other magazines like 3DO, TG-16, and CD-i. I probably wouldn't have known much about these systems as a kid if it wasn't for this awesome magazine. I still get giddy when I come across an old issue once in a blue moon.
Well, in the mid-to-later 90s, CVG folded, unfortunately. When that magazine ended, I moved on to the next best thing: Electronic Gaming Monthly. Which in the late 90s, was the thickest gaming magazine back then, often weighing in at over 100 pages per issue. Not quite as a much coverage with the smaller systems, like CVG, but still more coverage than your average gaming magazine.
Nowadays, Retro Gamer (U.K.) is without a doubt the best magazine on the stands, gaming or otherwise. Such a cool format, VERY well written articles with lots information, and LOTS of great photos of cool retro stuff. SOOOOO much better than the U.S. counterpart (titled "Retro Video Game Magazine"). My wife is so cool, she got me a year's subscription for Christmas this year (which is not cheap to get in the U.S.). First issue ships sometime this month, haven't gotten it, yet.
