Let’s get a gaming magazine discussion going.I love flipping through old gaming magazines. The breathless passion for games have been buried and forgotten over the years is contagious, it’s really reinvigorated my love for retro gaming.Anyone else still appreciate the old magazines?
>>12051365How do you get the $200 Cashback?
>>12051482How can you be so sure?
I occasionally check for new Famitsu scans precisely for things like picrel
>>12051210Me, I love to read british and spanish magazines. Now I am diving in japanese magazine, there like thousands.
Gamefan showed me Evangelion existed.
>>12051482>mods deleted the post pointing out the spam thread>spam thread still up>retards keep bumping it
>>12052419is there still no full scan collection of famitsu? Its so strange to me
>>12052537a fullset? maybe in p2p, I get some issues from archive and retro mags, but they only have a few.
Damn, that was slick.
I recently managed to track down an old issue of some obscure mag I used to read religiously.
>>12052828I like when they have a good amount of screenshot and text. A equal mix.
The 90s was the peak for magazines, then early 2000s, after that in late 2000s was the long farawell.
Lara Croft was a huge selling point at that time.
>>12052479I love British ones too. The dry humour in them speaks to me. There was a ps2 one that had a column dedicated to gta, where they would answer the dumbest questions about the game and tear the asker to shreds. A stand out is someone asking about how to get the bus on gta 3
>>12054154I have that issue, that demo came with 14 net yaroze full games.
>>12051210what magazine has a reviewer that went by the name "eggo" and used a small purple ninja as an avatar? i think there was a similarly drawn red ninja avatar for a different reviewer.
>>12052537>>12052567isn't it a weekly magazine? most of them probably got tossed, due to storage issues.
>>12054927The main one, yes. And there are so many off them, I bet very few issues got no scans at all. But there were several spin-off magazines back then. Same goes for dengeki.
>>12054927a WEEKLY gaming magazine? fuck me how is there even enough news to populate a rag in 7 days?
gamepro was by far my favorite. enjoyed the letter section and how each writer had a character/persona they adopted
>>12051210Most definitely. I am glad I kept most of what I have, but to this day I still regret throwing out all my Nintendo Power (first 2 years) issues because I had to move. I still break out a random magazine once in a while for the memory.
>>12055498Well it was japan, there, they have like dozens and hundreds of games that don't reach Atlantic ocean shores.
