And why that game? Anyone collect game magazines, or guide books? Show your collection. --- End quote --- Magazines? Hell no. Not anymore. I used to enjoy Game Player, Game Fan and Play. These days, I think game magazines are garbage. --- End quote --- I quit collecting magazines the last time I had to move them. Never again. The ads are fun though. |

Unfortunately, space constraints and lack of local collectors resulted in my throwing out most of my old gaming magazines a couple years ago. Mid 90s to end-of-run sets of Next Gen and Tips & Tricks, plus most of my PSMs. I opted to keep the early PSMs with the cool hand-drawn covers and Game Players (that was a special one for me, long story.) And the Dreamcast official one, because the run was short so it doesn't take much space. My last purging uncovered my anime magazine stash- nigh complete sets of Newtype USA and Shojo Beat. Unless one of the otaku at work steps up, they will likely suffer the same fate. :( |

Still remember the final issue where they predicted Xbox would mop the floor with the PS2. Well, we know how that turned out. I got so tired of lugging around giant boxes full of magazines that I just pitched them. EGM 104-last issue plus a few randoms? Gone. PSM complete set? Gone. Next Gen nearly complete set? Gone. Dreamcast magazine and Official Xbox Magazine complete runs? Gone and gone. XBM, GamePlayers and several other short-lived magazine series? Yep...gone. As for Newtype USA? I had a huge run of those. Sold them on eBay. Glad USPS had flat-rate boxes. I'm sure the mail carrier was cussin' my ass having to haul four boxes of those things to the winning bidder. I just couldn't bring myself to pitch them. |

I do have ten of them in fact have purchased two more this year, all of them from the Brady Games brand and like 100 from Club Nintendo but the one that was released in Mexico, they started with a pretty good quality but later the standards changed so didn't purchased them anymore. |
