Computer Games is the debut album by American funk musician George Clinton, released by Capitol Records on November 5, 1982. Though technically Clinton's first "solo" album, the record featured most of the same personnel who had appeared on recent albums by Parliament and Funkadelic, both formally disbanded by Clinton in 1981. Conceived in the aftermath of a period marked by financial and personal struggles for Clinton, "Computer Games" restored his popularity for a short time before P-Funk fell victim to renewed legal problems and scant label support in the mid 1980s.

  • Computer Games is the debut album by American funk musician George Clinton, released by Capitol Records on November 5, 1982. Though technically Clinton's first "solo" album, the record featured most of the same personnel who had appeared on recent albums by Parliament and Funkadelic, both formally disbanded by Clinton in 1981. Conceived in the aftermath of a period marked by financial and personal struggles for Clinton, "Computer Games" restored his popularity for a short time before P-Funk fell victim to renewed legal problems and scant label support in the mid 1980s. According to Glenn Kenny of Trouser Press, after the end of his Parliament-Funkadelic collective, Clinton's album was titled as a "nod to the burgeoning wave of techno-funk that was beginning to overtake almost every other form of dance music; rather than reject the new technology, he adapted it here in his own unique way". The single "Loopzilla" hit the Top 20 R&B charts, followed by "Atomic Dog" which reached No. 1 R&B but peaked at #101 on the pop chart. The album was listed by Slant Magazine at #97 on its list of "Best Albums of the 1980s." (en)

  • Computer Games è il primo album di George Clinton, pubblicato dalla Capitol Records il 5 novembre 1982. Sebbene sia il primo album da solista di George Clinton, esso conta della partecipazione di gran parte dei membri dei Parliament-Funkadelic (primi fra tutti Bernie Worrell, Bootsy Collins e Eddie Hazel), abbandonati da Clinton nel 1981. È alla posizione n°98 nella classifica stilata da Slant Magazine dei migliori album degli anni ottanta e, secondo Glenn Kenny della rivista Trouser Press, Clinton "piuttosto che rifiutare le nascenti innovazioni tecnologiche della dance music, quali drum machines e campionatori, le ha adottate integrandole nel suo stile unico".
