Electronic Games Magazine 1984 Software Encyclopedia
From my personal collection.
Here it is! Electronic Games Magazine 1984 Software Encyclopedia!!!
This issue is in a very solid Very-Fine (8.0) condition. It looks more like an 8.5 but very small tears by the staples brings it down in grade slightly
This is one of the toughest, if not toughest issue to find in the entire Electronic Games Magazine print run. Initially, I thought this was a little more rare than the first issue of EG and about the same rarity as the 1983 Software Encyclopedia and the 1983 Buyers Guide. However, it may be a little more rare than even those hard to find issues. I base this on my experience trying to track down this issue. It took so long to find and it seems, at least from the year 2005 to 2010 (the time frame I was actively looking for it) that only a very small handful were put up for sale on EBay and other select sites. Either way, it sure wasn't easy to come across.
Outside of the rarity this issue is full of reviews from all the awesomeness that was gaming in the year 1984. Not many photos of the games reviewed but tons of info! A great read and a wonderful trip down that good'ol memory lane! For referencing Video Gaming history you can't get much better than the software encyclopedias and buyers guide that Electronic Games Magazine published!
Actually, any issue of Electronic Games Magazine is great for retro gaming info! You will find no better publication to learn about the early history of the worlds greatest hobby!
