orthicviper Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Game Player's magazine is my favorite, at least the years of 1994 and a few years after that because it was probably the funniest game magazine ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwmac223 Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I didn't read any retro magazines as a kid, but I love Nintendo Power because It has so many classic articles that are still fun to look at today. I think it laid the foundation for video gaming magazines to come including EGM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90sRetroGamer Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 My favorite 4 from the 90s were Nintendo Power, Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro, and Next Generation.In the late 90s-early 2000s when I was into PC gaming there was PC Gamer and Computer Gaming World.

XFactor Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 GamePro was the one I bought as a kid. Most of the ones I had got thrown out so that's why I'm here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekachoman Posted August 6, 2016 Share Posted August 6, 2016 Boy, I would have to say EGM early on with Nintendo Power a close second followed by GamePro. I spent so much $$$ on these mag subscriptions and tossed them all... why do we do that??? Don't know what you got till it's "long" gone!

Data Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 I got my hands on a Video Games and Computer Entertainment after I owned Colecovision sometime after the crash in 1989. Then it was the Turbo Play magazine when I got tg16 before I got NES. No magazines until I was 15 and had a job. In 1992 I began buying GamePro and EGM as well as comic books, Craked Magazine and Mad Magazine. I never bought a Nintendo Power because it was just one big advertisement and I never realized Nintendo Entertainment System existed.

Samhain Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Nintendo Power. I'm super happy that Nintendo Force, picked up the torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagerbeaver Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 EGM by far. I read some Nintendo Power and occasionally picked up a Game Informer, but EGM was the shining city on a hill of my adolescent years. I would read those issues front to back until the pages wore out, getting far too excited for upcoming releases. I think those were truly the halcyon days of gaming journalism, I doubt it's heading back to that level of quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 EGM was my favorite. If I was older I probably would choose Computer and Videogames or Electronic Games but EGM had the most professional staff who ate breath and sleep videogames from 1992 to 21st century. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megadrive89 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The first game magazine I bought was Game Player's April 1991. It had a review of M.U.S.H.A in it. However, EGM was the one I looked forward to the most. I waited with anticipation for each issue and I loved the import coverage, in fact I almost bought an import copy of Verytex for the Megadrive. However, I got cold feet so I stayed with domestic games for quite a while. I never threw away any magazine, however some got lost through the years. The magazine I miss the most was the "1992 Sega Genesis Buyer's Guide". That was my all-time favorite single magazine. It had reviews of Thunderforce 3, Wings of Wor, Gaiares, and several other greats. That was a pretty rare magazine. I wish I could find it again. I believe that issue was a Sendai publication.
