_{Cover of the February 1991 issue of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment}

VideoGames & Computer Entertainment was my favorite gaming magazine in the late 1980s to early 1990s. EGM was great then too but this one was my favorite. It was sort of the spiritual successor to the original Electronic Games as it had many of the same people involved though Electronic Games itself would make a return for a little while. The February 1991 issue of VG&CE includes:
