I've got some problems with it, but Videogaming Illustrated is by far my favorite video game magazine from the early days. As Jess points out, this issue has 15 pages dedicated to representation of women in games...in 1983!
It also has some fun guest editorials, like one where Adam West argues for the artistic merit of video games (he's also like "now of course *I* don't play them, but")
When you get into the 90s you start seeing magazines coming out that are like "finally a magazine for the adult, the thinking man. our review of Awesome Possum Kicks Dr. Machino's Butt, pg. 78"

But back then there was no pretense because no one knew who a game mag reader was
