[fumanchu]

started off with zap64 back in the c64 days,then moved onto c+vg(computer and video games).then moved onto mean machines,the best multiformat games mag there has ever been.once mean machines was split into 2 mags(mean machines sega and official nintendo magazine)i went back to c+vg up until it ceased publication in 2002/3.moved onto gamesmaster until i started reading gamestm.

oh yeah and i also get retro gamer magazine.

 

so whats your gaming mag history?

[Devia Eleven]

I have only subscribed to GameInformer magazine.

[fumanchu]

dosent have to be subscription,can also be just mags that you bought now and then.

[Lucandrake]

Gamepro, that's it, never bought any other form of mag, or subscribed.

I had subscriptions to PC Gamer, EGM and Nintendo Power at certain points years ago. I haven't purchased a magazine of any kind in a good 8 years probably.

Only Game Informer

Your Sinclair, Mean Machines, C+VG, Gamesmaster, Super Play mostly. I also stumbled across a copy of EGM in my local newsagents back in 1993 or so. This sort of thing wasn't even stocked by the biggest retailers at the time, so I got the owner to reserve me a copy every month. He said that I was the only one who ever bought the mag. Not that it was an amazing magazine as such, but it gave me a new perspective on games at least.

 

Super Play though was my personal favourite. A superlative SNES mag that focused heavily on Japanese games, especially RPGs.

i always liked mean machines the most as it covered mostly games in the import scene and im talking about the early days before the megadrive and snes were launched in europe and america.

[gavin19]

I always remember the Mean Machines with the SF2 preview. I must have read that 100 times easily, leading up to the SNES release. Never have I ever looked forward to a game as much as that, nor have I since. I think it was the one with the pic below as the cover.

 

 

They also gave these cards away with that issue IIRC, which I still have for some reason

ive still got the issue in the attic somewhere and yes i remember those cards only to well.i had a snes imported frm japan on the day the snes got released in japan and then i went and paid an importer £150 for the game,i just didnt care about the price,i just wanted it badly.

I used to be into PSM since it was pretty cheap, but very sony biased (but it was cheap)

 

then they doubled their subscription price and I said "flock that"
