The cover is interesting with its Donkey Kong, Asteroids, and Pac Man motif. Unfortunately, in spite of the cover text asking "Guess who's got video game fever?", there is actually no video game themed story in this issue. What you do get are some classic Riverdale tales, plus a couple of bonus gag strips, a Sabrina the Teenage Witch quickie, and a bit of the Archie gang in their "Archie 1" caveman incarnation. The first story is the most amusing with Archie's band considering replacing Reggie because he never shows up for rehearsal. Most of the other shorter stories are setups for a single punch line and they're a bit hit or miss, although it's always amusing to watch the ongoing machinations between Betty and Veronica.
