Suggestions For Retro Pc Magazines


Count_Zero

Recommended Posts

So, I've been blogging about various retro magazines - and thus far everything I've covered has been console focused - EGM, GamePro, and GameFan once I get up to 1993, as well as Nintendo Power.

As I've gone through the various issues of the magazines, I've started seeing ports of various PC games coming out on the consoles. After recapping magazines with several of these games I've come to realize that if I'm going to achieve my semi-unstated goal of charting the evolution of gaming, the gaming industry, and gaming journalism, I'm going to need to cover the PC side of the equation. So, I'm looking for suggestions for PC gaming magazines, particularly ones that were active during the late 80s into the 90s. If they were active up to Retromags cutoff date, even better.

The only PC magazine that fits the criteria, late 80's into the 90's and then possibly after the cutoff date would be Computer Gaming World (there is a post in the forums about it where you can get the first 100 issues in PDF format).
