Computer Games Strategy Plus

Scope and Contents

This is a partial collection of Computer Games Strategy Plus, as well as several special issues. It is unknown how many of these supplemental guides were published.

Most issues in this collection are from the American edition of CGSP, with the exception of the original UK-exclusive ten issues of Strategy Plus.

Although the library does not intend to acquire British issues of CGSP, some British issues were shelved with this collection when they were available, sometimes in lieu of the American edition. British issues are marked in their individual records; apart from their physical dimensions and advertisements, the two editions are identical.

Additional Description

Abstract

Computer Games Strategy Plus was a monthly magazine covering computer games. The first ten issues were published exclusively in the United Kingdom under the title Strategy Plus, after which it was also distributed in the United States. CGSP was printed under a number of different titles over the course of its 27-year run, depending on which company owned the magazine.

Some issues of Computer Games Strategy Plus were also bundled with Interactive Entertainment, a digital magazine distributed on CD-ROM.
