Rename?

I really dislike when titles of articles are seperated only by capital letters. I think it would be better to rename this Computer and Video Games (magazine) or something to that effect and turn this into a redirect to computer and video games mentioning the magazine at the top of that article. Anybody have a comment or suggestion about this? K1Bond007 02:51, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, I was looking at this article a coulple days ago and I thought it wasn't the right choice. Thunderbrand 04:17, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

Done. I agree with your suggestion. ╬╬ 25 ^chatter 08:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC) ╬╬

Editors

Can anyone out there provide a list of C+VG editors and what periods they held the position? - Diceman 18:10, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

ISSN

Somebody requested the ISSN for this magazine. The October 1998 issue (#203) lists 0261-3597, which does not pass the test at ISSN. It is probably a misprint, because the June 1990 issue (#103) lists 0261-3697, which does pass the test. Thought I'd document this here to avoid confusion. 82.210.116.156 18:42, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

This is where the arcadian ice man is king from Phoenician Empire... ?Holographic progress? [hibernate!]... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.235.252 (talk) 13:49, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

It rings a bell. I remember the artwork have a 2000AD quality. I think the name was something like Lieutenant Law or Lieut Law. I remember it looking very vivid but being impossible to follow, because the art was so stark and detailed. (googles) The whole thing is available as a set of scans here at World of Spectrum. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 14:32, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

"the artwork have", were you drunk? For the record, and in case the link dies, it was The Bug Hunters by Jerry Paris with Pedro Henry (actually Steve Moore and Garry Leach. It was first published in 1986 and some, perhaps all of the strips were collected in 1990 by Trident Comics, but the company folded in 1992 so good look finding a copy. Doesn't seem to have an ISBN. Page 76 features a ninja woman in lingerie beheading a giant robot with a flying kick, which goes to show that comics have not changed much in the past quarter-century. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 18:50, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

"good look finding a copy", were you drunk? Chaheel Riens (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

The strip was rife with spelling & grammatical errors as well. Whoever did the lettering got almost every instance of "didn't" wrong, with "did'nt" instead, and other variations of the theme "was'nt", "are'nt" etc. Chaheel Riens (talk) 17:06, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

I think I was still thrown by the ?Holographic progress? [hibernate!] guy. For the record, Pedro Henry was the pseudonym of the late Steve Moore, who wrote the story, and Jerry Paris isn't a pseudonym at all, it is his real name. Paris and Garry Leach did the artwork. The overarching title of the strip was The Bug Hunters, and e.g. "Lieut Laww" was the name of a single story. Sadly World of Spectrum's FTP archive is dead. -Ashley Pomeroy (talk) 20:13, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

NEEDS HELP NOW

when a publication that has been around since 81, has a picture from a GTA4 game on it's front page.. something is amiss. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.35.241.206 (talk) 03:07, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Fixed. Article now has a cover image from 1983 - in 't old days, and kept the GTA4 image, from the new era. a_man_alone (talk) 12:29, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

Is there a list of titles that were Game of the Month?

Merge proposal

User CrossHouses proposed that ComputerAndVideoGames.com be merged into Computer and Video Games.

• Support - Makes sense to combine with CVG article. - X201 (talk) 08:11, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

• Support - .com is just a continuation of the C&VG life. Chaheel Riens (talk) 09:56, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

• Merging these two things into one entry is a very bad idea and factually innacurate. C&VG the magazine closed over 7 years ago, Computer and Video Games.com the web site is an ongoing and very successful web site, and always had a very distinct point of difference from the magazine. I've tried to re-edit this article several times - as the author the original CVG.com entry. It really make this article supremely innacurate to treat magazine and web site as the same thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.167.143.229 (talk) 13:54, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

• Late to the party, but Support. Same name, essentially the same publication and both will currently easily fit into one (short) article. The "very distinct point of difference" hasn't been shown by any sources or content. bridies (talk) 03:37, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Tim Reilly's peer review for Cooper Justin's Article

This article outlines the purpose of the Computer and Video Games magazine and the content that the magazine, website, and YouTube channel delivered. The article is matter of fact, outlining the magazine, website, and YouTube channel. The article did not have much color.

A suggestion I would make for the author is to add more context and color to the article to appeal to the reader. For example, the article discusses the site expanding and having a popular forum with many users and topics. Here the author should give examples of the popular topics discussed and summarize the demographic of the users who engaged on these sites. The article discusses the cheat site, CheatStation, here the author can give relatable examples of cheats used in certain games that the end-user could connect with and how those cheats could enhance gamers play. The author can discuss whether the use of cheat games is ethical, or even legal. How does the gamer community feel about the topic of cheat codes?

The reader of this article will most likely be someone who is interested in computer or video games. For the author to really grab the reader's attention and connect with them, they should give more real life examples of what this magazine covered topics wise, some of the most popular or controversial topics, etc. If the author can entice the reader, the reader may try and find old magazine articles to learn or read more.

I noticed this article is like mine in the sense that it describes and gives facts about the topic. There is not much gray area of opinion, bias, or belief provided by the author. The article is written matter of fact. This article as well as my own, Ethics of Technology, give the reader room to form their own opinion on whether something is ethical or not. In my article, the reader can form an opinion or judgment on whether the use or development of certain technologies is ethical in society. In this article, the reader is left to determine if the magazine, website, and YouTube channel was ethical by providing cheat codes to gamers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timothy Reilly (talk • contribs) 15:50, 30 September 2020 (UTC)

Not the first?

I added a tag to the following statement: "At the time of launch it was the world's first dedicated video games magazine."

In numerous issues of their magazine, they repeated this claim many times. They always said "the world's" or "the first global", but I don't think this is true. The first issue of CVG was November 1981. Yet, the first issue of Computer Gaming World was also November 1981 and the first issue of Electronic Games was October 1981. Unlike magazines such as Softalk (which focused on computing in general), both CGW and EG were focused on video games. Xanarki (talk) 17:34, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

The first issue of CVG has the cover date of November 1981, which means it would have been published in the UK in October. - X201 (talk) 10:04, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Since Electronic Games has a cover date of October 1981, then they preceded CVG by one month, right? And CGW seemed to be at the same exact time as CVG. Xanarki (talk) 17:36, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Electronic Games has a cover date of "Winter" and we know it was published on 29 October 1981. - X201 (talk) 15:39, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

Any comments?

My only comment is that you should not be adding these awards to articles without using any citations. BOZ (talk) 21:38, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

The citation for each would be the magazine itself. Online backups, and summaries exist for the Spectrum and Amstrad.

For lists, you would need individual sources for these claims, not just citing the magazine as a whole. I would suggest working on this on a draft on your page instead of editing here, as, at this rate, this section would probably require it's own article. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:59, 4 May 2024 (UTC)

This shouldn't be a stand-alone article. It's not like this is a major thing like a Grammy Award or something. Sergecross73 msg me 20:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

You can stop building this list. There's no way this gets published. This is an encyclopedia, not a place to replicate old magazine award winners. Sergecross73 msg me 12:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

The C+VG Hit and other awards like it became a staple of early videogames journalism.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.16.44.124 (talk • contribs)

And it's fair game to add them to game article reception sections if you can properly cite them. But we're not a directory or a database for hosting all their game awards. Sergecross73 msg me 20:18, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
