Computer Games Magazine was a monthly computer and console gaming print magazine, founded in October 1988 as the United Kingdom publication Games International. During its history, it was known variously as Strategy Plus (October 1990, Issue 1[2]) and Computer Games Strategy Plus,[3] but changed its name to Computer Games Magazine after its purchase by theGlobe.com.[4] When it closed down in April 2007, it held the record for the second-longest-running print magazine dedicated exclusively to computer games with 196 issues, behind only Computer Gaming World.[3] In 1998 and 2000, it was the United States' third-largest magazine in this field.[5][6]
