Retromags is proud to release Videogaming Illustrated #1 for everyone to enjoy. Special thanks to member, s1500 for this release as it is one of the more rarer issues from the early years of gaming magazines. Enjoy!

These issues of Videogaming & Computergaming Illustrated in a basement full of magazines in a used bookstore, back in 1991. This magazine, in my opinion was the absolute best example of video game journalism, leaving no stone unturned. Arcade games, home games and computer games were given extensive coverage in the forms of reviews and news. It beautifully illustrated the world of what games like before the great crash of 1984. Little is known about the publishing company(Ion International) nor what the staff went onto afterward. Sadly, the magazine did not last long, ending its run in 1984, almost perfectly in sync with the decline of the classic pre-NES era. The in-depth journalism still seems unmatched by magazines dating up to even today.
