One of the few magazines of the era to survive the video game crash of 1983, it was sold to Ziff Davis in 1993.

In the early 2000s its circulation was about 300,000, only slightly behind the market leader ''PC Gamer''. But, like most magazines of the era, the rapid move of its advertising revenue to internet properties led to a decline in revenue.
