I didn't have much access to computer games in the 80s. But as a young kid I definitely was interested in them. I would absolutely have jumped into this magazine and even fantasize with some of the titles on that mag. I would love to read the strategies of those games, and one movie that comes to mind is "War Games". Classic 80s movie about the future of the world in the hands of super computers.

My neighbor had a Commodore 64 in 1985. This, along with movies like Wargames, Tron, and Cloak & Dagger are what got me interested in computers and computer gaming.

I remember watching the original Tron at the Disney Channel back in the 80s. Although I never quite connected with the movie storyline.
I remember being a fan of Automan
