Gamer magazines from the 90s, 00s

[Gnar Father of the Hard 5]

Did anyone here ever keep their gamer mags from when they were younger?  Nintendo Power, EGM, Gamepro, PCGamer, and so on?

I confess I had a stack of them locked away in my old bedroom in a box.  But I unwisely brought them to my apartment one time intending to make a collage of the 90s era gamer artwork and somehow I got distracted.  They ended up in a dumpster.

Now I can buy individual mags from a huge collection at a local game store.  I picked up an EGM from August 2008 and another from 2006.

Does anyone here want to pour over a collection they have?  They have become completely consolidated into about two companies, can't even find the original 90s era magazines in 2022.  So buy with care.

Nope, all my stuff was given away or in the trash. I used to have a lot of Nintendo Power, EGM, Game Informer, some Gamepro and those PS/Xbox ones that came with the demo discs.

I foolishly burned a huge stack of them to impress some goofy bitch that was living with me....one of my worst mistakes ever....GP, NP, GI, EGM, I had suns to them all and I had absolutely every Nintendo power at one point but now I have maybe 20

I had game pro and egm from sometime in 93 til my sophomore year in high school. I still don’t know why I through them all away.

I was a fool and got rid of them all. To make matters worse, all my demo disks were either given away or lost because only one remains.

It had an awesome demo of Shadow of the Colossus. Burnout’s was good too and I had a surprisingly nice time with LA Rush and The Suffering 2. The Sly Cooper demos were some old freebies though and the One Piece game was pretty bad.

I remember demo discs.  That was a great way to market, like shareware for pc and Mac.
