C+VG Issue 1

"Try to think of something more exciting than a computer. What did you think come up with: A trip to the Amazon, scoring a goal for England, landing on Mars or, maybe beating the bank at Monte Carlo?

A computer will give you the chance to do any of these in your own living room" Excerpt from editorial
