A trip to The Loft

[RichL]

Covered in dust, but I found some of my old mags, thought I'd share with you what I found. How many of you had these issues - or still own them?

EDIT: Sorry for any pop-ups, I did put it down as family safe but who knows...

I just binned that issue of GamesTM last week!

[RichL]

Is it worthless on eBay then that oe?

[Liamh1982]

Whereas I still do have that GamesTM!
Also had that Arcade, not any more though - like so many of the games mags I had bought between '93 and '05 they ended up water-damaged from being stored in a leaky shed.

I spent this morning in the loft sorting through all my magazines! Spooky.

I've got the first issue of Games tm (rest have been binned), Arcade & Edge & I'm in the process of getting rid of all my issues of Edge. I'm ripping out all the Time Extend & The Making of features though. I've run out of space & came to the conclusion that I'm never going to re-read them all, so they have to go.

No idea, too lazy to check, I had a huge pile of non-retro mags, so they went in the recycling bin. I'd only kept them as I thought I'd sell them on, but never got round to it.

I did look, found several, all starting at a £1 so nothing to be had there.

some nice cover art there on the DC mag

I've only been a sporadic mag buyer over the years (thanks to WH Smiths generous free public reading scheme).

^ Know what you mean!
Although it's not so easy if a mag's wrapped in cellophane!

Loving the C&VG Dragon Breed cover.
Awesome game

I absolutely loved DC-UK. Was quite sad when it went kaput.

[RichL]

I found several Zzaps too but we've seen all the covers. There's loads more, going to have a proper sort at the weekend. I am hoping to find my The Ones and Amiga Powers.

Sure issue 1 of Gamesmaster is up there too.

There will be loads more DC mags and CUBE - remember that?

it was my preferred DC magazine back in the day, always made me feel excitied about upcoming DC releases more than the other DC mag(s).

[Morkin]

... and CUBE - remember that?

Yep, bought every issue of Cube & quite enjoyed it from what I remember. Was it part of TGN?

And when they gave that boot disc away as a cover mount? Turned into the best magazine ever! Did the first/launch issue of the Official DC Magazine come in a silver foil packaging? Got memories of being very excited when I bought that.

^ That the one that came with the free video and had the cover of the girl kissing the controller?
If it was, I honestly can't remember what kind of wrapper it all came in.
