anyone remember VIDIOT? **pics**

Some of the ...ahem... older members might remember this. It was a special edition put out by the old rock n roll mag Creem in 1982. I don't believe there was a second issue. I came across my box full of old Creem's yesterday and found it. It even had a record review for Buckner & Garcias Pac-Man Fever. funny.

No, there was more than one. The one I have has a completely different cover with Q-Bert and shows covers to other issues inside. If I can dig it out I can get it scanned. I also have another copy of it missing the cover for sale/trade.

There were a couple of issues of Vidiot.. I think I have most of them (pretty worn out though.. check out my scan of the same pic :P). In some of them I LOVED the wisecrack captions they put on w/ rockstars and videogames... although they seemed to stop doing that later on. :/ Who knows why.. that was their best feature

heh heh, yours is pretty trashed as well. yeah the rockstar pics were funny. I like the pic of Ann & Nancy Wilson of Heart taking a hammer & screwdriver to a Space Duel machine.

Actually that was in one of the normal "unfunny" issues that you're referring to. :P There were issues where they absolutely RIPPED into the stars in their pics. If you see it you'll know what I mean :)
