  1. Yeah - I always loved receiving a demo disc along with a magazine. Official Dreamcast Magazine was a particular favorite.

    I think niche video game magazines - retro included - are doing well. I hope we see more pop up over time.

    I'm sure a lot of indie mags will spring up because of all the interest in retrogaming.

    Gonna go with PC games. I NEED another Wing Commander game. I love the space sim genre and Wing Commander games are worth playing for the storyline alone.

    On a related note, now that Star Wars is respectable again, I would love to see another game in the X-Wing/Tie Fighter space sim franchise. Not as big on storyline as Wing Commander, but the gameplay is top notch.

    Good call

  4. I like physical games, although I'm getting more comfortable with the idea of digital only. I had a flood in my house and a large portion of my game collection got ruined (games, consoles). I spent a fortune amassing that collection and now I'm spending a fortune trying to replace it.

    I've had songs on my computer for 15 years, I copied them to a hard drive and never had to worry about it. As long as I have copies of the they will always be there.

    Another thing people don't talk about, in regards to psychical media is consoles, especially disc based consoles. Disc drives break, motors stop working, and lasers stop scanning. Good luck trying to find a disc drive for your model 1 Sega Saturn. That's what happened to me, my Saturn stopped reading discs, I tried to replace the drive, in the end it was easier to just by another console. As time goes on I get more comfortable with the idea of digital media.
