Prior to a legend of EGM, gamepro and other video game magazines, the computer entertainer was one of the first publications to cover the industry in the early 80s. Now, the video game History Foundation has announced that it has acquired the rights to post the perfection of the eight -year run of the computer entertainer as part of its free digital archives.
Computer entertainer was owned and established and established in 1982 by Sisters Marylou Badox and Celeste Dollan, and it was the only video-game-centric magazine to avoid the 1983 notorious accident. As a result, the computer entertainer was one of the few publications that had stories about the period after the accident, as well as immediately after the North American launch.
The magazine also had some early reviews for the NES titles, including Metroid, The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario Brothers.
“I often say the period between 1985 and 1988 amid the ‘Dark Age’ of the Home Console Game Industry in the US,” VGHF founder Frank Sifdy said in a statement. “Games and even the entire systems were still being released technically, but without an enthusiastic press to cover them, whatever we thought has a lot of insight into it. Computer entertainment gives us an incredibly rare glimpse in rebirth that will define the industry as we know today, and we are all as a public use, and we all as a public use to offer a public use. Are proud. “
The VGHF Digital Archive already has more than 3,000 out-of-print video game magazines, as well as hundreds of trade magazines which were not available to the general public. The collection also includes rare artwork from gaming for the last four decades, videos and other back visual materials.
