VIDIOTS,

If it seems slightly misleading to have the Beatles on the cover of what you perceive as a videogame magazine...well, that's the point. VIDIOT isn't just a videogame magazine. There are too many of those.

It's an interesting situation here, putting out VIDIOT. As you may already know, we're the same people who bring you CREEM, "America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine" and a 13-year institution to many of us at this point. No doubt some of you picked this issue of VIDIOT up because you saw the CREEM trademark on the cover—not to mention the Beatles.

Good.

Whether "The Magazine Of Video Lunacy" will end up as meaningful a cover blurb as "America's Only Rock 'N' Roll Magazine" is to CREEM remains to be seen, of course, and I for one can't blame you if you're wondering what the Beatles have to do with "video lunacy" in the first place. But we here at VIDIOT think it all fits together. How? Well, we're working on it, believe us. With each new edition, this mag will take shape and hopefully fit into its own little niche in the same manner CREEM did long ago.
