Preservationists at the Video Game History Foundation have made a significant contribution to gaming culture by acquiring the rights to Computer Entertainer, the very first video game magazine. This groundbreaking publication, which dates back to the early days of gaming, features some of the first-ever reviews of iconic titles like Mario and Zelda.
By uploading the magazine for free, the foundation aims to provide gamers and historians alike with a valuable resource that showcases the evolution of video game journalism. The reviews offer insights into how these beloved franchises were perceived at their inception, highlighting the cultural impact they had on the gaming community.
This initiative not only preserves a vital piece of gaming history but also encourages a new generation to explore the roots of their favorite games.
