Abstract

The computer revolution gave birth also to another related industry: its specialized press. Starting from Byte , whose first issue was published in September 1975, more and more magazines appeared in the following years discussing a broad range of topics, with games being among the most popular and extensively covered on both home computers and gaming consoles.

Latin proverb, literally meaning “spoken words fly away, written words remain”.
