GI Show – Reliving 25 Years Of Game Informer History
Back in the fall of 1991, a video game retail store called Funcoland tapped the talents of an employee named Andy McNamara and Game Informer magazine was formed. On the magazine's 25th anniversary, we want to take a full walk down memory lane with the magazine's editor-in-chief Andy McNamara and executive editor Andrew Reiner. With 283 issues behind us, there's a lot of ground to cover, so we encourage you to click here and check out our full cover story gallery to follow along in the journey.
There are a million stories, details, and staff highlights we weren't able to get to in this episode; chief amongst them is Game Informer's publisher since 2001 Cathy Preston, who's done an amazing job keeping the magazine thriving. As always, if you like this episode of the show, please share it or send feedback to podcast@gameinformer.com. We'll be back with a regular episode of the podcast next week.

I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
