_{Cover of the June 1982 issue of Computer & Video Games}

Computer & Video Games was published in the U.K. and was one of the longest running gaming magazines anywhere. It was published from 1981 all the way until 2004. One unique aspect of this magazine was that, at least in its earlier days, it had type-in games for various computer. While here in the U.S. we certainly had computer magazines that had type-in programs, many of which where in fact games, we had no dedicated gaming magazines that I am aware of that provided type-in programs. The June 1982 issue of Computer & Video Games includes:
