TV Gamer (October 1984)
Being from the U.S., I wasn't familiar with magazines from other places like the U.K. until the Internet age. It seems like they had a larger variety of both computer and video game magazines in the 1980s and 1990s. TV Gamer is one of many video game magazines from the 1980s. Subtitled "The Player's Guide to Cassette and Cartridge Games", it covered both home computer games an video game consoles. The October 1984 issue includes:
- The Arcade Sceen: Us Vs Them, Roller Aces, Formation Z
- Exclusive! The living video game - Everyone who's played a screen game must have thought "Wow! Wouldn't it be something to crawl inside and get into the action." Planet Photon lets you do just that.
- Hardware: The Commodore 64 - What's so special about the C64 that it's captured 60% of the world's micro buyers? High-quality graphics and sound are only two of the reasons.
- Competition: Win TVG's micro of the month - Plus a datasette and two joysticks - all you need to play those best-selling Commodore games.
- Cover Story: Zenji makes its UK debut - We reveal the first levels to be conquered in this deceptively simple maze game - that relies more on intuition than on strategy.
