Computer And Video Games (C&VG) was a video game magazine in the United Kingdom, published monthly between November 1981 and 2004. It was one of the first publications to capitialise on the growing home computing market, although it also covered arcade games. The magazine saw many changes over the course of its life, and by the mid 90's had switched focus from home computers to games consoles.
Its publishers have included EMAP and Dennis Publishing Ltd.
The magazine was "suspended" in 2004 following its sale alongside PC Zone to Future Publishing, while the website lived on.
