Until PC PowerPlay, the rapidly evolving and growing world of PC gaming and related technology was served only by import magazines in Australia. Seeing this opportunity, I planned and proposed a high quality local magazine, which the emergent publisher Next Media got behind.It was an instant success, quickly gaining a large readership and subscriber base. PC PowerPlay offered unique access to a core of excited readers to our advertisers, who were not previously served by any other publication. It was a major financial success in those early years.Uniquely, PC PowerPlay extensively covered PC hardware and that was a key driving factor for its success as our readers wanted to follow the rapid developments in PC tech at the time, from a source with a gaming bias and a voice they could relate to, and trust.PC PowerPlay is still being published.For a year prior to PC PowerPlay's launch I was the Deputy Editor of Hyper magazine, covering console gaming and related lifestyle entertainment and assisting with all aspects of magazine production
