* FictionalVideoGame: ''Gravy Trader'', developed by the US mascot Coconut Monkey. One CD included a "review" of the game among other older game reviews, rating it a 101% and concluding it with ''"We have seen the face of God and there is gravy dribbling down his chin"''.


Added DiffLines:

** For a while, there was a short weird unrelated story paragraph written in the lower right of the last page of the US magazine. When asked about it in mail corner, their reply was basically "we have no idea what you're talkin about".

* SpiritualSuccessor: The original UK version was a spiritual successor to Future Publishing's earlier ''AmigaPower''. At one time they shared many of the same staff writers, and ''PC Gamer'' carried over much of it's tone, some regular articles (like the annual Top 100), and several of the running gags and [[MemeticMutation memetic mutations]] from ''Amiga Power'' as well. Of course, it was covering a different machine, and things changed after the AP staffers eventually moved on.

!!This magazine provides examples of:
* IBMPersonalComputer: This is what the title focuses on.
* {{Mascot}}: The American version has one in the form of Coconut Monkey.
* PCVsConsole: As the title suggests, the magazine totally takes the side of the IBMPersonalComputer.
* RunningGag: Coconut Monkey mentions frequently that he can't do this or that because he has no hands, and that he's trying to make a game called ''Gravy Trader''. In case you're wondering, this ''Gravy Trader'' game will never, ever see the light of day.
