40 years ago, there was all sorts of fuss and bother about the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy video game license. Read the story for details, but it was pretty crazy and it really felt like Supersoft had acquired the rights under extremely sketchy conditions.
35 years ago, I was helping Chris Tarrant present CVG's Golden Joysticks awards. It was huge, with both 8- and 16-bit awards for each genre category, plus specific console, programmer, and publisher awards - all voted for by the readers. Ocean was the biggest winner of the night!
35 years ago, MicroProse launched its new Micro Status label with this hilarious ad. I get that it was aspirational, but I really can't see how a pipe-smoking antique-car-driving smoothie and his expensive bit of totty would appeal to the average gamer! Just felt so off-base.🤣
35 years ago, I awarded SMS Galaxy Force II a CVG Hit! It was entertaining and fun - much better than it had any right to be considering just how technically powerful and graphically complex the original coin-op was. It basically swung for the fences and hit a home run.
35 years ago, I compiled this budget bonanza for CVG - essentially a snapshot of the low-cost game scene in the spring of 1989. It features a mix of rereleases (including Mirrorsoft's original Tetris), some pretty mediocre garbage, and a couple of fun original titles.
This 35-year-old ad for Action Screenplay is interesting. It's a "magazine" on tape. But what a terrible ad. Can barely tell what it was called, what it would look like, or where you could buy it. Plus it was the equivalent of £12, which was more expensive than some games!
Super-nerdy, but 35 years ago I penned my first YOB's Mailbag column for CVG. I developed this character over a year or so, and then really unleashed his humor in Mean Machines magazine. Even at the start, you could see his quite funny letter-answering style beginning to emerge.
35 years ago, CVG beefed up its charts. Which we needed to do, because it was crazy times. 8- and 16-bit games were still selling big while consoles were gaining huge momentum. The whole market was in flux. At this point it was perhaps the most diverse gaming ecosystem ever.
35 years ago, whenever CVG published a competition like this, we got absolutely flooded with entries. Like, bags and bags of mail. Oftentimes people posted multiple entries, not realizing they'd all arrive together and be very easy for us to spot and throw away!
The Game Boy is 35 years old! Despite its low tech approach, this was THE handheld to have back then. Truly fab! I got lucky and imported one to the UK within weeks of its Japanese launch, and spent months intriguing fellow commuters as I used it on the train to and from work!
And therein lies the dichotomy. Once you'd donned that horribly uncomfortable 50-pound contraption, any coolness you had evaporated because you looked like a right old knobhead. 🤣

Finished this last night. Feels like someone brought the classic 2000 AD Judge Dredd Cursed Earth world to life. Hideously awful and violent, horribly brilliant characters, but also utterly hilarious and a super-compelling story. Really fun stuff. Can't wait for season two!
40 years ago, the Amstrad CPC's full details were rolled out. Meanwhile, Sinclair's QL was now so delayed that the ASA was eyeing an investigation. Reality was that it was pretty much dead in the water. As was Oric, despite a management reshuffle. Things were really shaking out!
35 years ago, I was both shocked and delighted to find that after stinking out the place with their ports of Last Duel and LED Storm, US Gold's home computer versions of Forgotten Worlds were actually really good! Especially the Amiga version, which looked and played brilliantly.
35 years ago, Ocean was THE licensed game company. However, it did very, very occasionally publish an original title - like this 16-bit first-person shooter in which you drove a tank into combat, Battlezone-style. It was pretty fun - but not the sort of game Ocean was known for!
40 years ago, the popularity of Spectrum text adventures was in evidence with a CRASH cover dedicated to games of the genre. Most mags in the 80s had a dedicated adventure column - although by the end of the decade they had all but disappeared as the genre fell out of fashion.
35 years ago, Imagine (AKA Ocean) was advertising its conversions of Konami's rather natty racing coin-op. The Spectrum version was superb, as was the Amstrad version. However, the C64 version was a festering bag o' shite. Back then, coin-op ports could be really hit-and-miss.
This 40-year old PCG news page has a lot of interesting details about the rapidly-collapsing Imagine, who insisted it was all business as usual while going after ex-employee and generally nice fella Colin Stokes (who was great at Ocean) for telling the truth. What a shitshow!
35 years ago, CVG featured this interesting piece about Acorn's Archimedes, a fantastic computer that featured the new ARM RISC processor. Sadly, despite its coolness and high performance, the system had almost no impact - although the chips contained within most certainly did!

@JazRignall I liked visual style, particularly some of the characters in the hi-res sprites of the C64 version, and Jonathan Dunn's music was very pleasing, so much so I did a remix a few years ago :) youtu.be/y4O6XVQm3FI
@JazRignall My favorite ever ; I mocked up a BBC version of it based on Bob’s wonderful graphics!
@JazRignall Timmy mallet once said you needed a license for your bike so I went in the post office. They knew nowt and rang Tyne tees before they said it was an April fool. I thought I was gonna get nicked on me bmx
@JazRignall Jaz, CVG is my all-time favourite magazine. I remember reading about the Mega Drive, but had to wait until Christmas 1990 to get my hands on one.
@JazRignall I remember this article. It was the article that made me aware of, and want, a Mega Drive. The child in me thanks you for sharing this. The adult in me initially balks at the number of years, but begrudgingly thanks you too.
I remember playing in the beta as a member of the press, taking screens for my GamePro article, when a very high level enemy was kited into my newbie zone, leading to everyone dying -- corpses everywhere. It was fixed, but screenshot of the massacre accompanied my coverage. :)
25 years ago, groundbreaking MMO EverQuest launched. While it was preceded by Ultima Online, EverQuest offered a richer, more complex and sophisticated multiplayer experience. It was also old-school MMO hard. Death lurked around every corner. Anyone remember, "train to zone?" 💀
I was inspired to have a go on this after seeing a post by @JazRignall earlier. Can’t beat a bit of mindless side scrolling beat em up action! #retrogaming #gamepak #ReturnOfThePak #Nintendo #GameBoy #GamersUnite #FTC #ForTheColltection #FullSetWanker
@JazRignall Nice but I can't see it ever taking off
@JazRignall I was a 12 yr old gamer back in 92, loved your magazines, I still vaguely remember the first issue of the Nintendo mag with a free tamagochi, and loved the art style of mean machines, I even grew my hair out in 95 to a full blown mullet, haha
@JazRignall @Michael_French Absolutely! It either has to be a satire/parody or elevate / recontextualise. Otherwise it's just a cynical (or unimaginative at best) ripoff. Pleasure exchanging messages with you by the way. You inspired me to work as a game journalist back in the day and look at me now. :)
@JazRignall Maybe i shudda bn a journo?Change of subject! I remember your SNES Sim City review in MM. I still have to revisit it from time to time, you mentioned playing it into the early hours without realising the time, never a truer word said.
@JazRignall Yeah I always thought that. Rattly clicky horrible things. And they got a lot of punishment if you were playing Daley Thompson’s Decathlon etc. lol. Keep the posts coming! Cheers matey!
@JazRignall Just done a quick Wiki. It appears Stanley first appeared in the 1982 Game & Watch 'Green House'.
@JazRignall It's one of the best computer magazine covers ever, and brings back so many memories. Happy Christmas from Scotland 😀
@JazRignall At my parents' house for Christmas and found a stack of classics! Still in awe of how detailed the coverage was on the comparitively bare bones games of the day.
@JazRignall One of the best ever issues. Contender for peak Zzap! Meant a lot to me as a kid that one. Merry Xmas Mr Rignall!
@JazRignall @mdf200 I love this cover, I have it on a coaster(!). Everything you've said is correct, it's so very cozy and evocative of the Christmasses I had; sitting, tucked in the corner of a room, playing games while a real fire blazed away. Love it.
