    Default OLD VIDEOGAME MAGAZINES

    Hey! I am searching for an old issue of (I think it's) Cracked magazine called "Vidiots" from about 1984 or 85. The whole issue was dedicated to videogames and parodies of them. Does any remember this magazine, or better have a copy they are willing to part with. I've been searching the net for it for awhile now to no avail. Any input to locate this mag would be greatly appreciated.

    You've looked "everywhere?" There are 5 issues of "Vidiot" (no "S") on eBay right now. Issues 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Four days left too. $9.99 opening bid. Get bidding.

    That's from MAD. It's good, I scanned it in a while back, I'll post it if I can find where I put the file.

    No, the magazine is not "Vidiot" it's a spoof done by Cracked Magazine(I'm sure). The specific issue is called "Vidiots" and it's a parody of videogames and gamers. Kind of like when Mad magazine puts out an issue dedicated to a "theme"

    I think he's talking about the videogame parody issue(s) of either Mad or Cracked.. not the Vidiot magazine proper.

    Ah, the way I read it, "Vidiot" was produced my Cracked much like "Blip" (remember that one?) was produced by Marvel Comics. My error.
