Computer And Video Games (CVG) was a video game magazine in the United Kingdom, published monthly between November 1981 and October 2004. It was one of the first publications to capitialise on the growing home computing market, although it also covered arcade games. The magazine saw many changes over the course of its life, and by the mid 90's had switched focus from home computers to games consoles.
Its publishers have included EMAP and Dennis Publishing Ltd.
The magazine was "suspended" in 2004 after being sold (alongside PC Zone) to Future Publishing. Future, who also published CVG's main rival Gamesmaster, subsequently decided to publish their magazine as opposed to keeping CVG in operation. Subscribers received a copy of Gamesmaster in place of CVG, along with a letter claiming the magazine had been suspended to allow the staff a break and would return in a few months. Currently the magazine has yet to return.
In the meantime, the magazine's website has continued to stay active.
