Enhanced audio quality, enabling sophisticated soundtracks and voiceovers.
Richer visual experiences, with the possibility of including full-motion video clips.
Increased game length, as more content could be included on a single disc.

The magazine reviews some of the most popular games of the time, such as:
The 7th Guest: This game pioneered the use of 3D graphics and interactive storytelling, offering players a thrilling horror-mystery experience.
Myst: A visually stunning adventure game that captivated players with its intricate puzzles and immersive world. Myst became a benchmark for subsequent adventure games.
Full Throttle: A graphic adventure game that combined humor, engaging narrative, and thrilling motorcycle action.
Technological Advances:
The issue delves into the latest technology in gaming hardware, such as:
The rise of 3D graphics cards, which brought an unprecedented level of detail to game worlds.
The increasing importance of sound cards to enhance audio fidelity and provide immersive experiences.
Innovations in input devices, with the introduction of joysticks and gamepads fully integrated with computer systems.
Upcoming Releases:
Exciting new titles slated for future release are teased, along with exclusive previews, which include:
Expanded sequels to beloved franchises, promising to build upon established worlds and gameplay mechanics.
New IPs (Intellectual Properties) looking to break into the market with unique concepts and engaging gameplay.
Upcoming technologies that promise to further enhance the gaming experience, such as virtual reality interfaces.
Conclusion:
The June 1995 issue of Computer Game Review and CD-ROM Entertainment Magazine serves as a snapshot of a rapidly advancing industry, illustrating how far gaming had come in just a few years. The transition to CD-ROMs and the advancements in technology marked a pivotal moment in gaming history, laying the groundwork for the diverse and complex games that would follow.

WHAT YOU GET:
This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.
IMAGES:
All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.
COMPATIBILITY:
Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.
PLATFORM:
Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.
64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.
Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.
MEDIA FORMAT:
Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:
Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.
Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has
already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.
Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.
