Only one I diffinitiavly remember from that time: https://paleotronic.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/YourCompu... few felt familiar, but then, was UK market selection for me and so Your Computing and BYTE would be the ones with PCW.

I do miss BYTE, odd to remember a time in which you actually enjoyed the adverts as much as the content, something you could not achieve today as easily.


I thought this was going to be, literally, "Computer & Video Games" magazine covers... Example: https://archive.org/details/cvg-magazine-026

It was one of the best UK magazines, packed with 'type-in' programs for various home computers!

But the article doesn't feature even a single cover... :-(


Hah! My one claim to computing fame is that I submitted a game - a Frogger clone - to Amiga Format and it won Reader Game of the Month (and £50) in the Christmas 1999 Issue[1].

Sadly the magazine cover was distinctly un-christmassy - not a single elf or sleigh in sight - thus not good enough to be included in any list of classic Christmas covers.

I enjoy following https://twitter.com/OldGameMags for a little dose of nostalgia in my feed.


so fun to look at these. I'd really enjoy going back and looking at some original Nintendo Power magazines sometime.
