Gamesmaster celebrates 250th issue

GamesMaster, Future’s long-running games magazine, is celebrating its 250th issue.

First launched in 1993, GamesMaster is the world’s most exciting multi-format games magazine, and is the only magazine to offer comprehensive coverage of the biggest and best games in every format, every month, says Future.

To celebrate its 250th issue, the magazine comes wrapped in a special gold foil souvenir wallet and features the definitive list of the 250 Greatest Gaming Moments, which takes a look back at the entire history of gaming and all the consoles that have ever been played on.

The issue also comes packed with a free poster displaying all of GamesMaster’s 250 covers on one side, with the greatest games controllers ever on the other. Plus there is a free sticker sheet featuring 96 of the most iconic games characters as classic 16 bit sprites.

Readers also have the opportunity to win the “ultimate” gaming prize – a GamesMaster Golden Joystick trophy engraved with their name.

Robin Alway, GamesMaster’s Editor-in-Chief says: "It feels great to have reached this milestone. We're proud that GamesMaster has been there for an entire generation of gamers. We're hitting the big 250 at the peak of our powers with one of our best ever issues. Anyone who'd grown up reading the mag won't want to miss it. We have some big ambitions for the future of one of the UK's iconic games media brands, so here's to issue 300!"

The 250th issue of GamesMaster is on-sale now.
