Computer Entertainment (May 1985)

in #retrogaming • 9 years ago (edited)


Electronic Games evolved into Computer Entertainment after the crash of the video game market. It didn't last very long in this form and few video or computer game magazines survived at this time.

The May 1985 issue of Computer Entertainment includes:

  • On-Line
  • Bulletin Board
  • Line Feed - Letters from foreign and domestic correspondents.
  • A Hippie In Yuppie's Clothing - Software designer Tom Snyder has gone from The Most Amazing Thing to The Other Side.
  • Jog, Run, Boot - Exercise software that goes the distance.
  • So You Wan To Be An Oscar Meyer Weiner - Read it and laugh.
  • Finder of Lost Arcade Games - CE tracks down some very interesting games that never made it out of the designers' labs.
  • What's Elizabeth Taylor's Favorite Bourbon - Caught up in the trivia craze? Now your micro can get into the act.
  • MSX: Japan's Computer Gambit - Sure, it's a nice looking machine, but can it play Ultima?

Oh the nostalgia! I wasn't even born at the time. Can't express how much I want to touch stuff like this. Reading old journals in physical form is like going back in time, if only for a short period.
Also this one has a totally cool cover.

Hmm, this goes really way back. 1985, I'm so grateful for how far we've come now in the gaming world with lots of great stuff like PS4. This is a nice time to be alive, really.
