Maybe a Steampunk setting in which the technology can not surpass its limits due to some new element like 'super coal' that produces more energy, or in which clockwork technology could potentially produce automatons close to robots but still hopelessly inferior to anything that uses transistors...

They are really old. You will probably won't even recognize or remember some of the games and stuff that was being discussed in them. Heh, one contained this separate booklet about games coming up in 1995 or 1996, they were really excited about games like the original Quake (or was it Quake 2?)...
