Upfront

We'd appreciate it if readers could take the time to write and tell us what they think of this issue.

Vidgame fans might be slightly disappointed in the direction we seem to be heading—Monty Python? Video Art? Museums? What's that stuff doing in a magazine with Q*Bert on the cover?, some of you may be asking. If so, we understand.

Fact is, there's something else up there an the cover right next to Q‘Bert, Popeye and Baby Pac, and that's the words THE MAGAZINE OF VIDEO LUNACY. They're important words, probably the most important words about VIDIOT, because they don't limit us in ways other magazines are limited. They give us leeway. We're taking a gamble, frankly, that if you're the type of person who enjoys any of ihe unlikelier aspects of video—from vidgames and television shows to rock videos and even the music of the vidgames themselves—you'll find something you enjoy in VIDIOT.

You'll get a kick out of M.T. Boxx's article rating the other video magazines in this issue, and if you have the obvious question on your mind—like how come he didn't rate VIDIOT?—it's because we didn't think he needed to. You're holding it in your hands right now, and the fact is, everyone here knows his opinion. We just need to know yours.

So you tell us. Epcot Center, Arcade Action, Monty Python, Video Art, Hardware/Software. Interesting? Boring? Would you rather see more vidgames reviewed? Less? More TV shows? We're ready to do whatever you want—and if you can help us by letting us know what you do want, great.

So when you get to VIDIOT MAIL, there's an address up there. Ours.

You figure out the rest.
