Scope and Contents

From the Series:

This is a partial collection of Walmart GameCenter, Geek Magazine, and Walmart Parents Guide To Videogames.

All three magazines were published on irregular schedules and were frequently undated. Dates were listed with the digital copies of many issues, although many of those were unavailable at the time of cataloging. When possible, dates were also taken from copyright years printed each issue, from editorial comments, or from the Retromags entry for Walmart GameCenter (which appears to have been sourced from the digital issues). Due to a lack of issue numbering, the total number of issues for Walmart Parents Guide To Videogames is unclear.

This collection also includes two issues of Launch Day Magazine that were available through the EGM Media website. Due to the deliberately ephemeral nature of Launch Day, it is unclear if any other survivng issues exist.

From the Series:

Because Walmart GameCenter and its affiliated magazines were distributed digitally for free, we have decided to include digital copies in our library even when we are missing a physical copy of the issue.

Additional Description

Physical Characteristics and Technical Requirements

The library's digital edition of this issue of Geek Magazine has not been altered from its original form. Some advertisements and other visual content may not be text-searchable, which is how the magazine was originally provided.

The file size for this digital issue of Walmart Parents Guide To Video Games is unusually large, apparently due to the inclusion of high-resolution images. While most issues of this magazine are under 100 MB large, this issue is 336 MB. We have presented this issue in its original, unmodified format, which will result in slower load times than other issues.
