 For general computing magazines that may also cover games, consult the list of computer magazines.Journalist reporting and evaluation of video games in periodicals began from the late 1970s to 1980 in general coin-operated industry magazines like "Play Meter" and RePlay, home entertainment magazines like "Video", as well as magazines focused on computing and new information technologies like "InfoWorld" or "Popular Electronics".However, dedicated magazines focusing primarily on video game journalism wouldn't appear until late in 1981, when several magazines where launched independently of each other at about the same time.
