Richard Berg's Review of Games was a slim professionally produced fanzine with over 20 issues published per year, dedicated to publishing game reviews. [1] In 1980, Richard Berg, then working as a game designer for (SPI), started writing and editing reviews of wargames, which SPI published as Richard Berg's Review of Games. It began as a two-page standalone newsletter, published twice a month for 25 issues. [2] SPI then converted it into a regular feature in the pages of SPI's Strategy & Tactics until late 1985. [3]
In the fall of 1991, Berg started up a self-published fanzine, the similarly titled Berg's Review of Games (or BROG).
Steve Jackson reviewed Richard Berg's Review of Games in The Space Gamer No. 37. [1] Jackson commented that "This is a good effort. I just can't pick it up without thinking 'Where's the rest of the magazine?' Recommendation: Subscribe to [ Strategy & Tactics ], [ Fire & Movement ], Dragon , and [ The Space Gamer ] first. If you still have time and money, by all means get this." [1]
Twenty-one of the twenty-five issues of Richard Berg's Review of Games are held in the "Edwin and Terry Murray Collection of Role-Playing Games, 1972-2017" at Duke University. [4]
