In the pre-Internet era, the Videogame Magazines ruled supreme as the only source of inforation available. Once a month you could pick up a copy of your favourite mag and immerse yourself in a tresure trove of gaming-related info.

The best ones - think Your Sinclair, A.C.E. or Computer Gaming World, amongst others - had inimitable style and were much more than just news/cheat code sources. The quality of writing, art and humour was quite often top notch, having much more to do with proper journalistic standards than their modern equivalents.

Here in Mag Quest section we'll trawl through the digitized versions of these forgotten treasures, looking equally for the brilliant, the bizarre, but also the mundane, the random and the (seemingly) insignificant.
