Before it closed in 2017, Club Penguin - the official one - was a popular hangout for teens and young kids on the internet, providing a safe place to play and chat with over 200m other players at its peak.

The ludicrous lopping and comedy chopping of goofy gladiatorial game Gorn proved to be a winning formula when the Early Access build lolloped its way onto PC VR platforms in 2017.

Coronavirus has seen to that lovely ritual for the time being, alas. But Edge has had its own response, and it's genuinely magical - a reminder of the power of games, but also a reminder of the power of magazines. Magazines!
