For centuries, humans have developed games as a form of entertainment. It is a cultural aspect that brings together a community through competition, narrative, strategy, and consumerism. From tabletop games to video games to competitive card games, games have brought people together through shared hobbies and careers. Throughout the 1990s, comics and magazines became a way for people to remain connected and updated on their hobbies. These publications introduced new strategies, products, communities, information, and media to avid readers.

A variety of magazines were dedicated to different types of audiences. Video games, roleplaying, gambling, card games, and sports games publications explored advice, ideas, narratives, walkthroughs, strategies, and upcoming events and products.
