_{Cover of the October 1995 issue of Computer and Video Games}

Computer and Video Games was a very long running video games magazine in the U.K. and one of the longest running video games magazines that I am aware of. It covered whatever computer and video game platforms were popular at the time. In 1995 that included PlayStation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, 3DO, Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo and PC games among others. The October 1995 issue includes:

Features

• Welcome to Virtua City - A look at Sega's "Virtua" series of games and other 3D games including Daytona USA, Sega Rally Championship, Virtua Fighter Remix, Virtua Racing, Virtua Striker, Wing Arms, Virtua Fighter 2, and Virtua Cop plus a few words from Sega's AM2 division.


• Virtua Boy! - A look at Nintendo's Virtual Boy and the first software available for it, including Red Alarm, Mario Tennis, Panic Bomberman, and Teleroboxer.
