Issue 01 came out only a few months later in May 1994. The magazine had a total of 23 issues before being merged into Computer Games Strategy Plus Magazine. It is said the cost of packaging the discs was too high for it to have been sustainable on it's own. Each disc includes news, previews, reviews, and game tips. All of these are with screen shots with audio tracks. These reviews sometimes include more than one person speaking with a different perspective about the title and funny banter back and forth. In addition to this multimedia experience, you can click on the screen when playing one of these presentations and choose "Extras" to view a text game description and/or requirements for each title. These hidden game descriptions are written at the level of a review in a major print publication. Many issues include interactive interviews with game designers. The magazine also includes ads which occasionally play. These ads play randomly and are unstoppable which can become frustrating but at the same time is a interesting look at the past. The ads can either be in the screen shot/audio track format or full videos. Finally the discs also filled in that extra space available with demos, patches, and at times full games. I have created videos of the game previews and reviews which can be watched through my [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqZHjvtK6AjWyOB3O_1EM0ZjdC_vfzLXh|IE YouTube playlist]]. These videos are an easy way to experience part of this disc magazine but if you have the ability to download and run these in a virtual machine I highly encourage it.
