By that year, Gutman wrote, "Video games were officially dead and computers were hot". He renamed his magazine "Computer Games" in October 1983, but "I noticed that the word "games" became a dirty word in the press. We started replacing it with "simulations" as often as possible". Soon "The computer slump began ... Suddenly, everyone was saying that the home computer was a fad, just another hula hoop". "Computer Games" published its last issue in late 1984. In 1988, "Computer Gaming World" founder Russell Sipe noted that "the arcade game crash of 1984 took down the majority of the computer game magazines with it." He stated that, by "the winter of 1984, only a few computer game magazines remained," and by the summer of 1985, "Computer Gaming World" "was the only 4-color computer game magazine left."
