When Were These Classic Game Magazines Published? (Quiz)

Get ready for a low-tech trivia challenge that will put your video game knowledge to the test. This is Continue: The Game, a fun new way to feel like a moron while staring at a computer screen. Today's episode is all about classic video game magazines, something that we spend a lot of time talking about on Defunct Games. Can you tell me when each of these issues came out? Test your knowledge now with this debut episode of Continue: The Game!

RULES: Below you will find fifteen issues from a dozen popular video game magazines. Some are recent and others are very, very old. Your job is to study the cover looking for clues to decide the year of each publication. But don't think you can just look for the date on the cover, because we have erased all traces of the year. Good luck!

But seeing as this game doesn't allow you to compare scores, I'm not sure if people will be interested in this low-tech game show. Please leave a comment below and let me know what you thought of this trivia challenge and what you would like to see going forward. You can also get a hold of us on our Twitter account.
