TheComputerShow.com – Read On About Computers

It seems quite clear that the guys at The Computer Show were taking care of the 100 million visitors they’ve received since 1996, and had no time to invest in web design, which seems a bit of a shame: there’s lots of useful and very savvy content and articles on this site, and its pre web 1.0 outlook just wouldn’t tempt me enough to follow the links if I were to find it on a search engine or StumbleUpon, for instance.

But vintage has its advantages: you get absolutely no ads, neither contextual nor banners, or any other known form of using up visual space to advertise. Since they haven’t had any time to figure out what to put on the nonexistent ‘About Us’ page, things are even harder to understand: you’ll find issues of PC Game Center, a magazine that seems to be published by the site owners since the early 90s, and whose complete versions (text only) can be read online. If you are looking for walkthroughs and game reviews, TheComputerShow.com can be a great place to get some, as they take a very close and insightful look into the latest gaming releases and comment on them; for worshippers of vintage games, here’s the way to find original reviews to games that were published in 96 and later, and also cheats, hints and interviews with the developers.
