Abstract
PC Accelerator (abbreviated PCXL) was a computer game magazine targeted to men, in the style of men's magazines such as Maxim. PCXL is mostly notable for its pervasive crude, sexist content, which was objectionable even in its own time.
A one-off revival issue of PC Accelerator was published by PC Gamer in Fall 2007.
