Cover of the February 1990 issue of Advanced Computer Entertainment
Advanced Computer Entertainment primarily covered computer games though it had console coverage as well. Exactly what systems were covered depended on the issue but in 1990 it seems to have been the Atari ST, Amiga, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Spectrum, PC, NES, and Sega. The February 1990 issue includes:
Specials
- War! - A history of computer war games.
- $6000 a Second! - An interview with John Lasseter on the state of computer animation. At the time, it took about a year to produce a 30 minute computer animated film.

- 'Ere We Go! - A look at recent soccer games which had experienced an explosion in popularity with more being released in 1990 that the previous three years combined.
