Computer and Video Games had one of the longest print runs of any video game magazine. It was published from 1981 until 2004. The March 1997 issue includes:
Reviews
- Turok: Dinosaur Hunter - First person shooter for the Nintendo 64 based on the comic book of the same name.
- Sonic 3D - Sonic's first 3D game on the Saturn. It had a mixed reception.
- Legacy of Kain - Play as a vampire in this classic action game. This review is for the PlayStation version though I think the PC version was better.
