I've actually picked up single magazines from ebay, but they usually gouge the prices. I picked up an issue of UK Sega Saturn Magazine, for example, that had 1/3 of a guide to grandia in it... for $20 haha. I guess I just haven't looked hard enough.
I guess, no, they wouldn't exactly emulate the look and feel of an old gamepro if printed on normal stock paper, but surely it'd be better than viewing them on a tablet. Funnily enough, I just went and looked on ebay after making this topic, and there is indeed a full set of 1997 issues going for $45 that I'm considering.
It's not just gamepros that I'm missing, though. I had subscriptions to SWATPro, EGM, EGM2, Gameplayers, die hard gamefan, tips and tricks, PC gamer, and I'd pick up plenty of random issues like those EGM buyers guides or issues of nintendo power that caught my attention. I kick myself for letting all those magazines rot away - some of them had strategy guides to games that can't be topped, even today!
Ah well, just floated the idea. I figured maybe someone online had a nice solution.
