Ethereal Dragonz

I was waiting for this one to finally arrive. I have pretty vivid memories of this one, as it was the only issue of GamePro's 16-Bit I owned back then. Thanks!

Holy moly! I totally forgot about this contest.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to help @CIVICMINDED out and for his personal sacrifice of the magazine collection.

Thank you @Phillyman and @E-Day for keeping the site alive for so many years.

Of course, thank you to every single individual who ever dedicated their time to scanning these retro magazines, not only to preserve history, but also for the brief flashes of nostalgia.

I had this one. I remember it well .

I saw it, I thought it was fine.

A little odd to make a big budget movie for a relatively minor Avenger's character though.

Looks like I am a minority here, but I still like all of the Marvel movies. I think its still very impressive they were able to stay consistent across so many years without completely screwing it up and keeping many of the "hooks" from the comics intact.

I still have a lot of my old comics and buy the collected Trade Paperback versions to read through them occassionally.

Yeah it is pretty crazy how much that stuff is going for, especially graded sealed games.

While its cool to have boxed games sitting around on a shelf for coolness factor, most of this stuff can be emulated on a Raspberry PI 4 very well (up to the Dreamcast era for consoles and DS for handhelds) if anyone actually wants to play these.

For my company, they are expecting us back on Sept 6th. They are going to allow a hybrid work environment where we can be on site three times a week and home twice a week.

I don't have a personal office where I am at. We have those "open space" workplaces where we have an assigned room and sit at an available desk with no cubicle walls. That setup has been the industry rage for a few years, so we'll see if their design layout changes.

Got something interesting today. One of the PC gamer magazines I put up on Archive a couple of years ago was taken down.

I was wondering if Retromags has received any notices recently?

This is one of my most memorable issues and this is a beautiful scan.

I was obsessed with Mortal Kombat II and while waiting for it to come out on home consoles, I would stare at these preview magazines for hours.

I would "like" this, but apparently there is a limit on how many reactions you can do it one day. I have never seen that before :-).

Its because of the million GameFans that were uploaded. I almost missed this amazing Famitsu. Thanks again!

One of the many amazing and hilarious Famitsu covers.

I guess I have one. The January 1994 issue of EGM reminds me of the first time I visited my best friends' house.

I was very into Mortal Kombat 2 at the time and I remember he had this issue on his bookshelf. I was surprised because I had not seen the cover before, I missed grabbing that issue at the grocery store somehow.

Thank you hardcorehubz and MigJmz!!

I used to have this activity book as a kid. They sold small packs of randomized stickers and cards to collect and stick in the book.

The good days when you could eat Nintendo gummy snacks, drink Super Mario Punch, eat Nintendo cereal, watch the Super Mario Bros show, read Nintendo Power and assorted books like this one.

The first time I subscribed to GamePro, this was the first issue that I received.

GameCenter CX (ゲームセンターCX released some books. Might wanna check for those. There's also Continue magazine that interview Arino (like around 2009) and  I've never seen them anywhere.

I did a search for GameCenter and ゲームセンタ. I was not able to find any books or magazines, but there were a number of game review videos. No hits for Continue magazine.

It's a stupid button that I would remove if I could.  I think it's meant to be used for punishing trolls for making hurtful/racist comments and the like.

Its sole purpose is to flag those who criticize DragonBall Z 

Geez, and I had to use one of these on a 2.5 inch screen:

This will seem like an odd question but have there ever been any game magazines aimed at the games industry?  Like a trade magazine, where the intended audience is developers/publishers and not players/consumers.  Does Edge/Next Generation count?
