Cultural ephemera

This collection includes three issues of the long-running, self-published newsletter Video Magic by Frank M. Polosky. The newsletter could be described as an early game collecting magazine. It contains sales listings for used video and computer games, reviews for games on older platforms, and advertisements for gaming magazines, newsletters, and services.

Issue 113 implies that these three issues were given away as a free sample.

Video Power was a video game-themed television show that ran from 1990–1992. Although Video Power started out as a show about video game strategies, it was retooled as a game show for its second season. Chris Johnert, who was a contestant on episode 72 (according to paperwork from the show's producers), held onto the paperwork he was given during his participation on the show.

This is a digital collection of scanned paperwork ephemera given to Chris Johnert when he appeared as a contestant on a 1991 episode of the television game show Video Power, along with an off-air recording of his episode.
