    Didn't realise he used to be an editor before all the technical stuff.

    I actually had the no.1 Mean Machines but some cunt ripped it up. Super Play was also awesome.

    I have a Mean Machines is good condition still that has a jigsaw puzzle of Contra IV for SNES and the original one with the Streetfighter II review and booklet.

    All 40-odd issues no way they are mine :)

    I also have Edge 0 - 150 and a few other old ones like Official Sony PlayStation Magazine 1 - 15 and a load of ST Format ones.


    Great site though good find it just needs much much more content!

    hehe i did think about selling them on eBay a while back but it would cost to much to send them anywhere as they are heavy fuckers.

    Got masses from Amiga days somewhere in my parents garage, along with a load of Edge magazines and some Spectrum one. Must dig them out again one day as they are great to flick through.

    Wonderful looking back and remembering the first time I read some of them, and being amazed at what was on the horizon.

    Superplay Gold is possibly the best issue of any magazine, ever.

    I used to take our then alive dog for a walk and buy each issue up every month and read it while walking her :)

    Mean Machines really was special.

    Didn't Rignall go on to create IGN? Or something.

    Heh, not that they're really worth anything, but I've still got quite a few of those mags still stored in the loft at my Mum's place. I've got issue 1 of Mean Machines Sega (not the original Mean Machines), Mega, Mega Drive Advanced Gaming and Mega Tech - unfortunately they're not worth as much as I'd hoped.

    I eBayed off issues 1-10 of DC-UK, Official Dreamcast Magazine and Dreamcast Magazine, although it was hardly worth the effort. :)

    Wow, Maximum - I'd completely forgotten about that one. I seem to remember it being a fairly lovely multi-format magazine. Arcade was also rather nice.

    A bit much.

    Give yourself ½ gig or a £, you're worth it.

    Mean Machines was special. First magazine I really became a fan off. Writing letters, making fanzines. Thinking Rignall et all were really cool and how great it would be to work for Mean Machines etc. :)

    Good times.

    What a wicked site, I'll keep an eye on that for more content in the future, there is a real lack of Speccy and Amiga mags there god dammit! DC-UK and Maximum were excellent mags, I remember picking up that Powerstone issue just before I got my first DC. Ah Memories of when the industry was a god I worshipped not the shitbag that I'm growing to hate now....

    / sniff

    Funny this came up though, just yesterday I was in morrisons and for some reason flicking through a few mags thinking I should start getting a few again. I miss games mags.

    Annoying file format, what the fuck is wrong with a well tagged PDF?

    Yeah, I used something called CDisplayEx, works well. Kinda freaky reading some of these again. It is really pathetically sad that I actually remember reading some of these mags?

    3 issues of GamesTM for £1.00 (cancel Direct Debit after receiving first issue).

    edit: oops, wrong thread, but I'll leave it in here for anyone wanting an old-skool 'paper mag' fix.

    I had a near complete set of Total! (Nintendo mag) which I chucked recently for want of space. Wish I'd donated them to these guys now. Proper golden era NES/SNES stuff, though in retrospect nowhere near as good as MM, Gamezone, CVG, Superplay etc.

    The PS1 era was the worst for magazines. Apart from OPM which was good, the rest were awful cheap bollocks. Edge was good as well but it was rare I could justify the cover price, esp as OPM was 5 quid a month. This was pre-mass internet as well, so it was a poverty of good writing all round. I used to get CVG 1998-99, but only because IIRC they dropped the price to 1.50 or something, which was well within my pocket money range. I remember seeing the first shots of Shenmue and Jet Set Radio and deciding that I HAD to get a DC. Got it out of my 18th birthday cash in the end. Happy days.

    C&VG was good in the 32/64bit days, used to love the yellow pullout in the centre.
