These stories and many more on this episode of the VGNRTM

This episode we will look back at the biggest stories in and around the video game industry in June 1982. As always, we'll mostly be using magazine cover dates, and those are of course always a bit behind the actual events.

Before we got all our information from the internet, magazines were the primary way of learning about specialty topics like computing. Randal Kottwitz was part of two major early pillars in this field, SoftSide magazine, as it transitioned from being a pamphlet with Basic programs to a full blown magazine with attached floppy disks and tapes and MacUser magazine, the go-to source for information about Apple's revolutionary 16 bit computer the Macintosh.

We talk about publishing, visions for the future of a digital life in the 80s and so, so much more!
