MagCloud = good.
Indie Game Mag = appallingly written pamphlet. Issue 1 is 12 pages long including the cover and rear.


PC Gamer's Extra Life section (which is all about indie stuff, well, and the occasional mod) is sometimes bigger than that!

Also, 50 cents for a burger, shake and frie's (sic)?

Say what you like about Sinclair User, but this is a hell of a cover.

From PC Gamer 11.
It looks like the finalists from the Virgin of the Year competition.
Look at those wacky dudes, you can tell they are wacky dudes as one of them has their hands up in a wacky fashion.
Where's the picture of Jay Wilbur erupting through the smashed door? Or a young (though he is ageless) American McGee? Come on, put my old mags to better use!

They don't half smell bad. Your loft must've been full of farts.
You must have billions of magazines by now Dimrill. Where do you keep them all?
Pretty substantial shelves I reckon.

I just thought of summut benter!
I've also mylar bagged most of them :smug: Mylar is so nice. Nice mylar.
Wow.. Impressive! What year/month would the GamesTM be from that you're missing? I'll have a look in my mom and dads loft and see if I've got them. I know I've got some, but I don't know when from.
Around Nov-Dec 2005.
Hmmm... I'll have a look. Don't get your hopes up though. :shrug:
:D All donations gratefully accepted! Grovellingly, even.
I have a godawful "serious" computing mag from the early eighties that I should upload the front cover of, as it's easily one of the worst magazine covers ever. I'll have a rummage.

And when I'm done that I'll go and find the magazine.
Obviously, the mid eighties was a truly exciting time in the Canadian software scene...

I can't help but notice that you aren't showing off your collection of Amiga Action magazines.
You know I'm tempted by them. I'd love the later ones, specialslaytly.
Young Donald Sutherland loves his new Mac. And Stellar 7!
What's hiding behind the paper on that bottom row?
The GamesTIM(!)s? That's plasticard protecting them from gippynig damage. Especially since they've been mmmmmmm Mylared mmmmmm. It's gippynig catnip!
Tell me about it. So bloody expensive. I've got full PDF collections of everything though.
What a practical computer user.

Ah fuck a duck. Dimrill, I probably had those issues of EDGE you wanted, but I chucked them all out when I moved down to York.

In short, an unnecessary, unhelpful and slightly irritating post.

I bet you put them in the general waste rather than rock recycling too.
He had to, I stole his bin.
Anyone live near/in Lewisham and fancies a few minutes out to a stranger's house?
Ah fuck a duck. Dimrill, I've probably been near Lewisham before at some point in my life, but I'm not there right now.
