Since there was some interest in my in my posting which
mentioned the JCGD, here's the info:

     The Journal Of Computer Game Design
     5251 Sierra Road
     San Jose, CA 95132

You can write for a sample issue.  The Journal is published
six times a year and costs $30 to subscribe.  It's a little
pricey considering that it is only 16 laser-printed pages,
but it is read by quite a few of the big game designers
(the current issue has articles by Jon Freeman and Dan
Bunten, to name a few names).

It is published by Chris Crawford, who should be no
stranger to anyone interested in computer game design.
He can be a little egotistical at times, but he does know
what he is talking about,

Note that JCGD deals with *design* and philosophy and
ramblings about the industry.  You won't find any
articles about how to program VGA graphics or what
languages to use etc--remember that the Journal is
targeting an audience which is assumed to know these
things already.  And the design side of things is
definitely more creative and interesting than the
programming side.

Hope this helps.

Oh, a few people asked me about foreign subscriptions.
Unfortunately, the subscription info doesn't mention
anything about this.  I'd recommend writing a letter
to Chris Crawford and asking about it.  There may not
any additional cost (because the Journal is overpriced
as it is) but I can't guarantee this.

And I should add that I am not affiliated with
JCGD in any way, nor have I ever written for them.

[BTW, anyone who is remotely interested in the
computer game industry should check out the "Repent!
The End is Near!" article in the current issue.]
