''InQuest Gamer'' was a monthly magazine for game reviews and news that was published from 1995 to 2007. Originally, the magazine was named ''InQuest'' and focused solely on collectible card games (CCGs); ''InQuest'', along with its competitor ''Scrye'', were the two major CCG magazines. Later, the magazine changed its focus to cover a wider range of games, including role-playing games, computer and video games, collectible miniature games, board games, and others. The magazine was published by Wizard Entertainment (not to be confused with Wizards of the Coast, which produced its own CCG magazine, ''The Duelist''). ''InQuest'' #0, the first issue, was published in April 1995. For issue #46 (February 1999), ''InQuest'' changed its name to ''InQuest Gamer'' (with ''Gamer'' in large text on the cover), clearly announcing that it was a magazine about games. Issue #53 made the ''InQuest'' title more prominent on the cover again and it had not been changed since then, though the cover's format was revamped with issue #122. Typical content included news, strategy articles, a price guide for collectible games, reference lists, and game-related entertainment and humor. The magazine's staff included Mike Searle, Tom Slizewski, Jeff Hannes, Brent Fishbaugh, Steve Frohnhoefer, Paul Sudlow, Jeremy Smith, Thorin McGee, Kyle Ackerman, Alex Shvartsman and Rick Swan. Because it was first published about two years after the release of ''Magic: The Gathering'', the trading card game was one of ''InQuest's'' main topics. ''InQuest'' was frequently home to fictional cards, including "purple" cards featured in issue #22 (February 1997). These hypothetical cards, which used a new "Portal" land to create purple mana, led some to think that the then-upcoming Portal set would introduce a sixth color. The magazine ceased publication in September 2007. ==See also== *''Scrye'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「InQuest Gamer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
