PC Strategy Games issue 2 (May 2000)

Another issue of this rare specalist publication. I researched and wrote an article summarising everything we know about this and another related magazine, so if you're curious, learn more about PC Strategy Games here.

In this second issue:

  • The featured interview is with Richard Bartle, the creator of the first MUD and, therefore, the progenitor of every MMO.
  • A five-page feature on why adults play games, featuring contributors' top 5s.
  • Kristen Bowditch writes an editorial lamenting the marginalisation of women in the strategy games boys club.
  • Reviews include The Sims, Theocracy, Age of Wonders and Planescape Torment (CRPGs are justified as containing some strategy).
