Abstract

During the peak era of personal computing (from the late 80s through the mid-2010s), many publishers released magazines broadly covering the field of computing, often with a focus on new hardware and software, including games.

Arrangement

Because of the disparate assortment of magazines in this collection, several of which do not directly deal with games, these magazines have been shelved separately from the rest of the library collection.

Appraisal

If the library accures additional copies of these magazines, they may be separated from this record and cataloged independently to aid with organization and discovery.
