Computer + Video Games (April 1991)




Cover of the April 1991 issue of Computer + Video Games


Computer & Video Games was the longest running video game magazine that I am aware of. It was published in the U.K. and seemed to avoid the fate of magazines like Electronic Games in the U.S. during the video game crash. Issue number 113 from April 1991 includes:

  • Spectrum Reviews - Reviews of ZX Spectrum games including Afterburner, F16 Combat Pilot, Xenon, Double Dragon, Star Control, and Silkworm -
  • Amstrad Reviews - Reviews of Amstrad CPC games including Silkworm, Star Control, Double Dragon, Xenon, and Return of the Jedi.

  • C64 Reviews - Reviews of Commodore 64 games including SWIV, Last Ninja III, Double Dragon, Silkworm, Xenon, WEC Le Mans, and Fist of Fury II.



  • Table of Contents from the April 1991 issue of Computer + Video Games
