Computer Gamer is a computer gaming magazine that was published in the U.K. during the 1980s. It was ultimately not one of the more successful gaming magazines as it only lasted a couple of years. But then the U.K. seemed to have a lot more computer and gaming magazines in the 1980s than did the U.S. from my recollection. The October 1986 issue includes the following:<\/p>\n
