The Turkish edition was founded and initially written by M. Berker Güngör (alias "maddog") in 1997 and then Sinan Akkol joined the family couple of years later when he attended to a contest and became the heart of LeveL; today it is the leading computer games magazine in Turkey, with over 15 authors and distribution of 25 000 per issue. While global games magazines Gameshow (magazine) and PC Gamer at first competed in the Turkish market, their Turkish branches closed due to financial difficulty, leaving LeveL without competitors — and with extra staff poached from the failed publications.

The magazine encourages the purchase of legal copies of games, having published a series of articles about Software Piracy .
