Additional Description

Abstract

Computer Player was a monthly computer game magazine, originally published by Larry Flynt Publications. After about two years in publication, the magazine was acquired and revamped by Air Age Media, a publisher that specialized in model vehicle hobby magazines. Under its new ownership, the magazine began to focus more on computer multiplayer gaming—particularly flight and military simulation games—and was retitled Computer & Net Player in 1997.

For the final three issues of the magazine, Computer & Net Player was renamed again to OGR Magazine, aligning its brand with the computer gaming website OGR.com (Online Gaming Review) which had also been acquired by Air Age. The magazine appears to have been discontinued early around March 1998, while OGR.com was sold to Strategy Plus, Inc. in August 1998.
