[5][6] The magazine's original editor-in-chief, Brian Walker, sold Strategy Plus to the United States retail chain Chips & Bits in 1991.

[5] Chips & Bits was purchased by theGlobe.com in January 2000,[8] alongside Computer Games Strategy Plus and its publishing division, Strategy Plus, Inc.[6] By March 2000, Computer Games' circulation had reached 240,000 copies; roughly 300,000 units of each issue were printed per month.

[6] The magazine experienced major growth during 2000: tracking firm BPA International recorded its average circulation from July-December as 374,576 copies, while the December issue rose to 450,515.

Computer Games Magazine was subsequently redesigned, starting from its June 2001 issue.

[10] On March 13, 2007, both publications were shut down by theGlobe.com, after that company was hit with a multimillion-dollar judgement in a lawsuit resulting from the e-mail spam of MySpace.
