It was relaunched as a quarterly A5 magazine in December 2020 with the backing of the original founders. </p><p>The magazine was launched to cater for the booming Spectrum games market.

By 1986 it had become the biggest-selling British computer magazine with over 100,000 copies sold monthly, but struggled towards the end of the decade after other magazines put cassettes of games on the front cover.

The trio had met the previous year when they were working for newspaper publisher Alan Purnell, learning how to write and produce a magazine from scratch. Franco Frey had worked for an electronics company, and had been asked by one of his business contacts if could get hold of video games. Kean remembers that "The High Street was ignorant of computer games" and they wanted to source titles and sell them.<sup id="cite_ref-eurogamer_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-eurogamer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> They set up a mail order catalogue called <i>Crash Micro Games Action</i> and advertised in contemporary computer magazines such as <i><a href="/wiki/Computer_and_Video_Games" title="Computer and Video Games">Computer and Video Games</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was immediately successful, so by late 1983, they decided to launch a dedicated magazine, forming the company <a href="/wiki/Newsfield" title="Newsfield">Newsfield</a> to do so.<sup id="cite_ref-eurogamer_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-eurogamer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Kean and Oliver Frey wanted a catchy title for the magazine, choosing "Crash" after <a href="/wiki/J._G._Ballard" title="J.
