History

The magazine ran head to head with Future's recently launched ACE and EMAP's long running C&VG magazines. Unhappy with the profits from the title Newsfield decided to call it a day for the title in 1990.

However Newsfield would, more or less, continue with a multi format magazine with Raze.[4] This new title would concentrate on the ever rising consoles like the Mega Drive as well as the established NES and Master System.
