Hi /vr/. Going through old boxes, and came across this stash of old PC gaming magazines from the late 90s. Any interest in seeing what they were talking about 20+ years ago? If so, pick an issue and I'll take some pictures (Table of Contents, then we can pick whatever article you're interested in).

Are you interested in selling those OP? I lost my stash of PC Gamer mags and I'd love to have a few to go through again.

Haven't given it much thought. Probably want to go through these to reminisce for a bit. Got the box from my folks who are selling their house. Unfortunately they threw away a bunch of old game boxes & materials from the early-through-late '90s as well (a bunch of Sierra titles, lots of old MicroProse games, some old SSI gold-box games, early Bethseda games, etc). really annoying that they didn't ask me to take them, as I told them I would before they decided just to throw them out.

OP here - heading to bed, but will check this thread tomorrow to see if there are any more requests for issues/articles.

>> No.5762247

It hurts so much that this time is past. I remember all of these magazines. This was totally my era.

I know that feel, pretty much all my shit was thrown out since we moved a lot and my parents didn't have much respect for the hobby. PC Gamer got me through some times since it was rare I'd even get to play games, had to wake up early on the weekends if I wanted to go near the family PC. If you happen to give it some thought you can email me at exmodel @ hotmail.com. Gnight dude.

I think October 99 had two or three pages on pretty in depth tribes strategies I. The back. There was a picture of a blue forcefield

Find me something on X-Wing Alliance, which would be covered in the 98-99 range

I'd be interested at the early looks at Jedi Knight and Unreal, especially if they promise stuff not in the final game. To think there would be playable versions of those in a pre-Q2 world is crazy. In fact any articles you think show things that differ noticeably from final games would probably be of interest to someone, just saiyan.
