In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine was published by Dennis Publishing Ltd. until 2004, when it was acquired by Future plc along with Computer And Video Games for £2.5m. In July 2010, it was announced by Future plc that PC Zone was to close. The last issue of PC Zone went on sale 2 September 2010.

Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The Quest for Clues series of books were compiled from hints published in these newsletters. QuestBusters journal served as a place for adventurers to gather, exchange hints, and read reviews long before anything resembling the internet was in common use.

Ian Trout had determined that print was the cheapest and most effective way to share new scenarios with the audiences for their games. In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

K-Power featured type-in BASIC programs for many different platforms, perhaps most fondly remembered for fun toys written by Joey Latimer.

The Quest for Clues series of books were compiled from hints published in these newsletters.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor.

K-Power featured type-in BASIC programs for many different platforms, perhaps most fondly remembered for fun toys written by Joey Latimer.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine features news on developments in the video game industry, previews of new games, and reviews of the latest popular PC games, along with other features relating to hardware, mods, "classic" games and various other topics.

Similarly to the British edition, the magazine shipped with a demo disk, though diskless versions were available. The CDs were replaced by DVDs in the American edition on a month-to-month basis.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine has several regional editions, with the UK and US editions becoming the best selling PC games magazines in their respective countries. The magazine features news on developments in the video game industry, previews of new games, and reviews of the latest popular PC games, along with other features relating to hardware, mods, "classic" games and various other topics. The American edition of PC Gamer launched in 1994. In 1999, Future US, then known as Imagine media, purchased rival magazine PC Games and merged its staff into the magazine. Similarly to the British edition, the magazine shipped with a demo disk, though diskless versions were available. The CDs were replaced by DVDs in the American edition on a month-to-month basis.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Ian Trout had determined that print was the cheapest and most effective way to share new scenarios with the audiences for their games. In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The Quest for Clues series of books were compiled from hints published in these newsletters. QuestBusters journal served as a place for adventurers to gather, exchange hints, and read reviews long before anything resembling the internet was in common use. It lasted ten long years and spawned nearly a dozen Questbusters hint books.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Similarly to the British edition, the magazine shipped with a demo disk, though diskless versions were available. The CDs were replaced by DVDs in the American edition on a month-to-month basis.

Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Ian Trout had determined that print was the cheapest and most effective way to share new scenarios with the audiences for their games. In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles.

Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T.

The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine has several regional editions, with the UK and US editions becoming the best selling PC games magazines in their respective countries. The magazine features news on developments in the video game industry, previews of new games, and reviews of the latest popular PC games, along with other features relating to hardware, mods, "classic" games and various other topics. The American edition of PC Gamer launched in 1994. In 1999, Future US, then known as Imagine media, purchased rival magazine PC Games and merged its staff into the magazine. Similarly to the British edition, the magazine shipped with a demo disk, though diskless versions were available. The CDs were replaced by DVDs in the American edition on a month-to-month basis.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine has several regional editions, with the UK and US editions becoming the best selling PC games magazines in their respective countries. The magazine features news on developments in the video game industry, previews of new games, and reviews of the latest popular PC games, along with other features relating to hardware, mods, "classic" games and various other topics.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”. As the son of a newspaper publishers and himself a bookshop proprietor Trout had a fondness for print publication and was interested in what SSG could achieve with its own magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

PC Magazine was also acquired by Ziff Davis. The magazine was founded by David Bunnell and Cheryl Woodard, and its first editor was Andrew Fluegelman. PC World's magazine and web site have won a number of awards from Folio, the American Society of Business Publication Editors, MIN, the Western Publications Association, and other organizations; it is also one of the few technology magazines to have been a finalist for a National Magazine Award.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The Quest for Clues series of books were compiled from hints published in these newsletters. QuestBusters journal served as a place for adventurers to gather, exchange hints, and read reviews long before anything resembling the internet was in common use.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine was published by Dennis Publishing Ltd. until 2004, when it was acquired by Future plc along with Computer And Video Games for £2.5m. In July 2010, it was announced by Future plc that PC Zone was to close. The last issue of PC Zone went on sale 2 September 2010.

ACE launched in October 1987, roughly the same time as Ludlow-based publisher Newsfield's own multi-format magazine The Games Machine. The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.

The magazine features news on developments in the video game industry, previews of new games, and reviews of the latest popular PC games, along with other features relating to hardware, mods, "classic" games and various other topics. The American edition of PC Gamer launched in 1994. In 1999, Future US, then known as Imagine media, purchased rival magazine PC Games and merged its staff into the magazine. Similarly to the British edition, the magazine shipped with a demo disk, though diskless versions were available. The CDs were replaced by DVDs in the American edition on a month-to-month basis.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

In the editorial to the first edition Trout explains that print was much cheaper than creating disks which would “cost around $15 a pop”.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine software was designed to run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 and Windows 95. Unlike competing printed publications which offered CD cover disks as a supplement containing demos and utilities, each IE disc was a fully self-contained magazine offering all editorial content in the form of video, audio, and text, as well as the usual demos and utilities. At the time of its publication, IE offered a multimedia presentation that was unfeasible over the Internet due to slow dial-up connections and a lack of standards in streaming video and audio on a web page, making IE the precursor to the modern video game magazine website designed for broadband Internet connections. The problem with the 'CD ROM magazine' was the cost of shipping it out. It wasn't the actual CD, but the packaging for the CD that was too expensive. So it got stripped down and made the demo disk for S+, and the magazine became the packaging.

Initially video games were covered sporadicly in Deeny Kaplan's regular "VideoTest Reports" column. In the summer of 1979, Video decided to launch a new column to focus on video games. Arcade Alley became a regular column and would represent a journalistic first. Written by Bill Kunkel, Arnie Katz (initially pseudonymously writing as Frank T. Laney II), and Joyce Worley, the three writers became close friends and in 1981 they founded Electronic Games magazine. The magazine was active from Winter 1981, during the golden age of arcade video games and the second generation of consoles, up until 1985, following the video game crash of 1983. The magazine was briefly revived during the 16-bit era in the early 1990s, but ended in 1995 and went through a series of renames, from Electronic Games to Fusion to Intelligent Gamer's Fusion and finally to Intelligent Gamer. Initially, the release of the first issue was scheduled for October 15, 1981. However, the release was postponed to October 29, 1981 and featured a slightly different cover than initially advertised.

The magazine staff consisted mainly of ex-Amstrad Action (AA) and Personal Computer Games staff, including launch co-editors Peter Connor and Steve Cooke. Andy Wilton, ex-AA, was brought in as Reviews Editor, while Dave Packer and Andy Smith were hired as Staff Writers. Trevor Gilham, another ex-AA member, held the position of Art Editor. Between June and July 1989 (issues 21 and 22) the magazine was sold to EMAP, and Future Publishing redeployed the original ACE staff to work on their Amiga Format and ST Format titles. After the magazine was cancelled in April 1992, a number of the staff working on ACE at the time were moved to The One (for Amiga Games) to relaunch the latter magazine.
