Those were the years when computers were just starting out. When video games demanded more imagination from players who were chasing dots and small sprites on screens. Great years. Anyone still remembers such brands like Commodore, Amiga, and Spectrum? Things have changed drastically in the past decade or two and we were all here to see that. Today we take a look at some computer related magazines from the past decades which had some great illustrations on their covers.

Of course, covers shown here are not the best covers of all time because it is almost impossible to check every single magazine cover. These are just nicely illustrated ones we found at Amiga Magazine Rack and Old Computer Mags which are two currently popular projects for scanning and preserving old computer magazines. For more covers and inside pages you should check them out.

Go and hunt down Byte magazine covers from the 1970s and early 1980s. They are even better than most of those shown here!
