Identifier: MAG-PCGAMES.V2N11
Scope and Contents From the Series:

The library has a complete physical collection of all known issues of PC Games in its various forms.

During its first incarnation as PCGames, the magazine's publishing schedule was inconsistent, alternating between monthly, bimonthly, or sometimes seasonal publishing. Because most issues were unnumbered and are poorly documented, it is difficult to tell how many were published. We believe our catalog accounts for all 28 issues of PCGames.

Abstract

GamePro was one of the longest-running American video game magazines, published continuously from May 1989 until the end of 2011. The magazine was originally published by SuperPlay, before being acquired by IDG Communications after the first issue.

GamePro continued to operate as an independent unit of IDG until the magazine was dissolved in Winter 2011, following a final issue which attempted to pivot the magazine from a monthly to quarterly format.
