Merge
[edit]I'd vote against this. Though one was immediately succeeded by the other, Games and Games World of Puzzles have considerably different content; most of the sections of the current article would be outdated under the Games World of Puzzles title. If the two articles must be merged, I suggest that the Games title be kept and that the Games World of Puzzles "rebirth" be listed under a subsection, as is the current state of the article. 67.255.65.82 (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
- Seems more like this one should be merged into the other, not the other way around as proposed. 71.55.139.75 (talk) 23:27, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
- Support initial direction of the merge, as the current combined title is "Games World of Puzzles" (that is, a merge of "Games" and "World of Puzzles" that occurred in 2014). I can see where the confusion arises, as the lede starts with history, rather than summarizing the content of the article - I'll correct this now. Klbrain (talk) 11:05, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
GAMES magazine was the long-time recognized form of this media. Seems like it would lead off the article with some history and then go into a brief discussion of its lower circulation current form. I think they really missed the bandwagon on eurogames - just saying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.90.163.10 (talk) 03:27, 17 December 2019 (UTC)

[edit]
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect Games Magazine and has thus listed it for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 July 4#Games Magazine until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

- Withrawn. Games Magazine seems like an unofficial name of the entity. It awarded Game Magazine Awards etc. See https://boardgamegeek.com/wiki/page/Games_Magazine --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 09:52, 4 July 2022 (UTC)
Information (lost? ignored?) with redirect
[edit]The Talk page for the original article mentions (twice) that Playboy was not the original owner, and if I ever get a chance to dig my copies of the first issues out of storage, I can prove it. 108.24.202.139 (talk) 11:17, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- I have Issue #1 and the editorial masthead shows the following info:
- Published bi-monthly by Games Publications, Inc., 515 Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10022. Copyright © 1977 by Games Publications, Inc. All rights reserved.
- So it was not originally published by Playboy. 2001:569:FC9A:C100:A149:25AF:5ADD:EE0 (talk) 15:49, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
