Computer Gaming World Nr. 1-268 - November 1981-2006

Full collection of Computer Gaming World (CGW) an American computer game magazine published between 1981 and 2006. Computer Gaming World featured reviews, previews, news, features, letters, strategy, and columns dealing with computer games. While console games are occasionally touched on, these are primarily the territory of CGW's sister magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly.

For many years, CGW never assigned scores to reviews, preferring to let readers rate their favorite games through a monthly poll. Scores were finally introduced in 1994. However, beginning in April 2006, Computer Gaming World stopped assigning quantifiable scores to its reviews. In May of the same year, CGW changed the name of its review section to Viewpoint, and began evaluating games on a more diverse combination of factors than a game's content. Elements considered include the communities' reaction to a game, developers' continued support through patches and whether a game's online component continues to grow.

The reviews were formerly based on a simple five-star structure, with five stars marking a truly outstanding game, and one star signalling virtual worthlessness. Three games, Postal by Robert Coffey, Mistmare by Jeff Green, and Dungeon Lords by Denice Cook "…form an unholy trinity of the only games in CGW history to receive zero-star reviews."


At the request I was splitted the archive into 6 parts. So you can download the release or from the first link, or from parts 1-6!
