Video Game Magazine Collection (1988-2005) Growing up I used to obtain individual video game magazines at the the local supermarket while my parents shopped for groceries. Usually buying 2-3 a month for years. I still have all of them actually, at one point in time I was possessed in creating POGZ out of the pages of some of them unfortunately. Also when the video rental store Blockbuster was closing in my area (not the nation-wide closure) the employee gave me a stack of strategy guides mostly for Nintendo 64 games, eventually sold majority of those. I also have a GamePro PlayStation encyclopedia which was a double-issue giving brief reviews of every North American released PlayStation game at the time. Also on my magazine collection link; I've stacked multiple magazines on top of each other describing each of them in a drop-down message but it seems flickr has removed that option. >:( Around 2010ish I supported GameFan return to magazine format and bought the first issue, and also occasionally bought Retro Gamer (UK) magazines 2012-13. |

I've recently gotten into collecting guides for games I like. I don't use them to beat the game. Instead I use them to see what I missed on my play through or to take a "walk down memory lane" for a game I've already beaten. |

I used to buy the Official Nintendo Magazine when they were released, but hard to get them at the end (@ Dutch book stores). Subscribed to Power Unlimited, since 2001 (Dutch gaming magazine) I have about 65 guides of games that i like and still 17 on the wishlist |

I collect game guides for games i happen to play or own, but i don't actively go out and buy any...as i can get the same info on the net for free. They're just a neat thing to pick up if i find them. |

All written media about games is really cool. I totally collect it when I find it. |
