The Games Machine was a video game magazine that was published from 1987 until 1990 in the United Kingdom by Newsfield,[3] which also published CRASH, Zzap!64, Amtix! and other magazines.

History

[edit | edit source]

The Games Machine 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 end the title in 1990.

Newsfield however 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.
