    Looks great. I love reading EGMs I missed out on as a kid when the only mag I knew of was Nintendo Power.

    I use a Dell Venue 8 Pro, with CBReader. 64 gig SD card for mags.

    Retro is in the eye of the beholder. For me, most all of the cart based systems thru the N64 back are retro, and I consider the PS1 to be the last of the retro platforms.....maybe the Dreamcast fits in that category as well for me. However, my son considers the original X-Box and PS2 "retro".

    Thanks for doing all these EGMs and closing the gaps in the collection. This was a great era in gaming.

    Enjoy the break MarkTrade, you deserve it man.

    Might as well throw PS2 in that lot too. To be honest, the only console of that gen that isn't emulated well is the original X-Box, which is actually the closest to a PC a console was during that era. Recently got reminded why I stick to PC. Just picked up Fallout 4, Metal Gear 5, and Grand Theft Auto 5 for a grand total of 120 dollars.

    If you already have a competent gaming PC, I would skip the Steam Machine in favor of a Steam Link and an AC router. Steam controller is decent after you learn to use it, but I would go with the Logitech F710 controller, maybe Steam Controller as a second controller.

    Most goodwills I see usually get game guides, but no mags. I don't know how many Warcraft strat guides I have seen in goodwill over the past few years.

    I checked their facebook page earier, as well as their twitter. Unfortunately, I saw them attacking a critic of their console instead of defending their decisions. Calling the critics "drunks" instead of addressing their concerns put a bad taste in my mouth about the whole thing.

    I'm concerned that most of what we have seen is renders, no prototype in sight for something that costs so much. And really, something like the Retron5 or the japanese machine that also plays HuCards is my goto for an all in one retro console.

    Ebay, but sometimes you can luck out and find something on Craigslist or just by going to community yard sales. There are also retro game stores out there if you look, and while the games might be a little high, certain consoles can be had for a decent price.

    March of technology. One thing I miss are demo discs. When mags came with a disc full of game demos, it was heaven. OPM was the first to do this with consoles, but PC Gamer done it with PC for awhile, and I am fairly sure older computer mags had demo discs or even full games included. But now the few gaming mags that are left have info thats so outdated when they are printed and shipped to newstands, info thats usually displayed right on your consoles dashboard, that game mags are almost unnecessary these days. That being saId, retro game magazines are thriving. Retro Gamer in the UK has a huge following, and Retro seems to be gaining ground here in the US.

    Cool, next gen I always liked. It had an adult feel to it, plus something about the way the magazine was printed, the materials used, felt premium.
  15. Leathco
    Cool deal. I hope this increases interest in the mag, I don't see many others talking about it when discussing older mags, everyone always talks CGW and PC Gamer when it comes to PC, forgetting some of the smaller, lesser known mags.

    My main magazine reader is a Dell Venue 8 Pro running Windows 10. It's a bit slow for some stuff, but works fine for most magazines, although larger ones sometimes take a bit to load.

    Not sure, unless Canada had it under the other name for a month or two due to copyright worries. I don't know, just a theory.
  18. Leathco
    I was a subscriber at the time, and remember the PC Accelerator cover, not the PC Action one. Not sure if it is a variant or perhaps alternate region?
  19. Leathco
    I remember getting a laugh out of that during the final issue. I think it was their way of saying goodbye on their terms, as I feel that they knew they had a good following that was growing, and got shafted at the end.

    Interesting history that GMR had. Shame it ended the way it did.
  21. Leathco
    I'm not a fan of DRM either, and it took me forever to join up with Steam. Thankfully, GOG.com offers DRM free games, as well as HumbleBundle.com Also, the DRM is getting heavy handed with consoles too. It's always been there, since Nintendo began fighting against emulators and ROMs, to the severe DRM on any console online storefront. I'm not defending it at all, but it's on any platform you game on anymore.
  22. Leathco
    I guess I am in the minority here, as my platform of choice is PC. I own the older consoles, but haven't truly gotten into a console since PS1, other than dabbling in the X-Box and 360, than running right back to PC.
  23. Leathco
    Running a small gaming store that combines a small arcade, some vending machines for food and drink, board games, collectable card games, and video games.

    They will always be around, but collectors snatching them up will make them harder to find as time goes on. I know I wouldn't part with any of my games, and I am always scouring flea markets, yard sales, and pawn shops for games. I haven't bought online like I used to though, just due to prices online skyrocketing. But nothing can beat the fun of letting my son pick a random game from the wall and we load up and play. I am fortunate enough to started my retro game collecting on 2004, and have over 20 systems and 3000 games. Still, I also have PC backups of my collection just in case of game failure due to age, and am slowly getting carts like the Everdrive for my systems so I have other options.

    Thanks Phillyman, forgot all about this contest!
