Computer and Video Games (also known as CVG) was a UK monthly video game magazine and website. It ran from November 1981 until October 2004. After 2004, the magazine was entirely moved online to their website.^[1] Their website ran from August 1999 until it was shut down on 26 February 2015.^[2] The magazine was produced in London, England. The first issue, released in January 1995, spotlighted Space Invaders.^[3] The last issue was in October 2004, with the main feature being a review of Need for Speed Underground 2.^[4]
