A magazine dedicated exclusively to the then-emerging world of PCs, it quickly became a benchmark.
The magazine was very long-lived but had a variety of titles depending on the era.
In its first issues (the first period, which lasted until 1999), games were a major focus, complemented by programming courses, hardware concepts, and educational programs.
Its first covers featured all the hits of the era, from the first dedicated to Sherlock Holmes to others featuring the first Syndicate.

From the very first issue, the magazine came with some form of data storage, which made it a household name among fans of the time.
Its first issue included two floppy disks with software.
They started with 3.5-inch diskettes that could hold up to three megabytes, something incredible at the time, until January 1994, when they surprised the entire computer world by including the first CD-ROM, which included demos of games or commercial applications, videos, shareware programs, and so on.
Later issues included two, three, and even four CDs, but the increase in information was not reflected in the quality of the content, and little by little, the magazine lost readers.
In 2003, the magazine was renamed "Personal Computer & Internet" and completely abandoned the games section, becoming much more technical, focusing on other areas of computing.
