The PC Gamer mags were bought off a dude on Craigslist who kept them in perfect condition. The other mags were in a box in a closet from an old Sierra co-worker who just wanted to get rid of them. They now have a good home in my Man Cave...and shared with all of you! :D

These old magazines really are a time-vault and great to browse through and a great resource.

I'm going to do another video this week! Should be fun

Old video magazines are great to see again, it brings you back in the good old time were you wanted to buy games just because some art photo's instead of all the info you get now from the internet and great channels like this one.

Good to know. Right now my Macbook is pretty old (5 years)...but I plan on getting a new iMac for video editing soon.

[MetalJesusRocks]

I buy Retro Gamer every single month at the local Barnes & Nobel. Love that magazine!

[PurpleGameRoom]

I really like gaming mags as well, it's so much fun to read about the then upcomming games that either became classics or are forgotten!

[DrZoidbergwoopwoop]

I am so happy I found this channel. Please do not stop making these videos man!

[TwistedIdentity]

Definitely do more. I always loved these retro mags. I used to get Electronic Gaming Monthly and some of my best memories came from those magazines. Getting excited for the Sega Saturn and whatnot.

yes please do more! its like news for gaming except old haha...i LOVE hearing these interesting stories from back in the day. ive been collecting fighting game strategy guides lately and i remember seeing an ad in one about this weird controller you can stick a cart into for moves, and it reminded me how they had some weird peripherals back then...i still love collecting unique controllers to this day too

I recently had to donate much of my old gaming magazines to the red cross in Australia, as they help poor people and families for christmas. I hope that my old Games TM magazines as well as my old NGamer mags and Nintendo mags and old Edge mags from back 3 or 4 years ago till the present will help families decide what cheap used games they could buy after christmas before they get replaced by the next gen consoles.

But I will always keep my Retro Gamer mags as well as special issues I attach to

NOX was amazing! One of my all time favorite games on PC.. I played it as a kid all the time.. So forgotten, I never hear anyone talk about that ever... It's sad I would love to find it someday and pop it in again

Hey MetalJesus,
Great video! I always love to see these old gaming magazines talk about games that were to be released. Some have been, some have not, and other may have been released differently than originally intended. I was born in 1988, so I sadly didn't have the chance to live to early days of gaming, but sometimes I wish I did. I especially love the early to mid-90s, when 2D was slowly turning into 3D. Maybe that's why I love the original PlayStation so much. It has a bit of both...

[leviticus]

Love it! This made me dig out my big box of old Egms, so funny to see the articles about the xbox, PS2, gamecube console wars etc.

I used to have soooo many of these magazines. I remember reading about Gameline (later called AOL) for the 2600.

Older Commodore magazines used to have games you could enter manually into your computer and save them to tape. I remember my connection to my Vic 20 being loose and having to start over a few times.

I used to own the original Electronic Games & Computer Entertainment magazines. My parents decided to move, while I was attending a tech school and my collection was lost forever. :(

Very nostalgic look at some cool magazines gone by. Another great video idea from MJR, thanks man.

[TheRetroBrian]

Great video man, for sure! I love goin back and lookin at those old magazines. They totally just capture the time and how gaming was. You got some good ones!
