Abstract
VideoGame Advisor was a monthly game industry trade magazine that covered news in the game industry, as well as interviews with game industry figures, previews and reviews of upcoming games, and other information relevant to the games business, such as financial date and industry directories. The magazine was formatted like a newspaper, with dense news items up-front followed by special features.
The magazine ran through the end of 1997, when it was relaunched as a weekly trade paper, GameWEEK.
Arrangement
Starting around Volume 3, VideoGame Advisor switched from magazine format to newspaper format. These issues are shelved separately in section for oversized materials.
