The Games Machine was a video game magazine published in Italy. The magazine was first released in September 1988 by the Milan based publishing company Xenia Edizioni, and is still published nowadays. At first, this magazine was just an Italian edition of the British The Games Machine magazine, but it survived its closure back in 1990, becoming one of the most popular videogame magazines in Italy. In November 2005 it was sold to Future Media Italy, a division of Future Publishing, and in 2007 it was acquired again by the italian publishing company Sprea Media. Nowadays, it is still active as a website and as a magazine in newsstands. Its the second longest running games magazine in the world, only surpassed by Famitsu magazine, and the longest-running PC games magazine in the world.
