''PC Zone'', founded in 1993, was the first magazine dedicated to games for IBM-compatible personal computers to be published in the United Kingdom. Earlier PC magazines such as ''PC Leisure'', ''PC Format'' and ''PC Plus'' had covered games but only as part of a wider remit. The precursor to ''PC Zone'' was the award-winning multiformat title ''Zero''. The magazine was published by Dennis Publishing Ltd. until 2004, when it was acquired by Future plc along with ''Computer And Video Games'' for £2.5m. In July 2010 it was announced by Future plc that PC Zone was to close. The last issue of PC Zone went on sale 2 September 2010. ==First issue== ''PC Zone'' was first published in April 1993 and cost £3.95. Billed as the first UK magazine dedicated exclusively to PC games, it was sold with two accompanying floppy disks carrying game demonstrations. The first editor was Paul Lakin. The magazine was split into four sections: Reviews, Blueprints, Features and Regulars. Among the first titles to be reviewed were ''Dune 2'', ''Lemmings 2'' and ''Stunt Island''. The Blueprints section involved previews of new games and Features consisted of an article written about a specific area of gaming interest, such as gaming audio. Regulars included a news bulletin, competitions and a Buyer's Guide which featured recommended games. 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「PC Zone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
