Improved kitsunebi edition! (forgive the copy/paste of this description) This is my own scan of this issue. I'm uploading it as an alternate download option - not a replacement - for the version of this mag already available here. The other version is also a nice scan, so I had no desire to replace someone else's hard work. That said, this version has some advantages that may or may not be important to you, which are outlined below should you need to decide which version is best for you. 1. This scan is higher resolution - it is saved at 3200px height vs the other version's 2200px. 2. This scan was debound using a heat gun vs. the other scan's guillotine cutting. This means that this version scanned the entire page from edge to edge, while the other version had a small portion of every page cut away before it ever entered the scanner. 3. Related to #2, this version has made efforts to have facing pages joined as seamlessly as possible when viewed in 2-page view mode. The other version really had no possibility of doing so, since both facing pages had part of the gutter side of the page cut off during debinding, leaving a portion of the center of a 2-page join missing, and thus unable to be seamlessly joined. In my opinion, the increase in resolution is of minimal importance for most users (and may even be undesirable, as it will of course increase the filesize.) The main advantages of this version are mostly apparent only when viewing in 2-page mode. When viewing in two page mode, this version is clearly superior as it shows the complete image across both pages, but if you only ever view a single page at a time, you will be unlikely to notice the fact that the other version's pages have been slightly cropped. Comparisons (note the center portion of the two page spreads) (In all comparisons, this scan is shown on top)5 points -

It's so weird reading reviews of PC games during this era and hearing people complain about how the PC graphics pale compared to the console version. I've been out of the gaming scene for...most of this millennium, but it it still like that now? I remember when the PC was the system to beat...4 points -

Compliments to bogusfrank for the donations, scans, and edits. This must have been a long, gargantuan effort, and I am sure we all at your service. Also thanks to Retromags again for giving a place for many of us to relive old memories and sometimes to learn about other gaming cultures. Good timing too. Prices on certain issues have really been climbing this year, and with the closure of GI I am sure they will skyrocket in price.2 points

I think the PC Gamer USA staff's only real job is replacing the ads with American ones and deciding which pages of editorial content to remove (the USA edition is usually around 16 pages shorter). It's a joke, and has been for years. But PC Gamer USA in the 90s was...

Tips & Tricks Video-Game Codebook Volume 17 Issue 06 (September 2010) You might see a gap between page 40 to 57. It is actually the correct numbering, the poster/miniguide that were originally included counted as page 41 to 56. So, except the fact that the poster is missing, the magazine is complete with no missing page.2 points -
I've subscribed to almost all the popular gaming mags all the way to the end. Game Informer was not my favorite, ( Next Generation) but was my last. What made Game Informer special to me was that it was still something to look forward to in the mail. I've also got compete sets of EGM, EGM2, GamePro, and Nintendo Power. This obsession with physical magazines started in 1982. I Joined all the video game manufacturers official clubs to get their newsletters. I still all those plus the club cards. PDF's are great for achieving, but nothing beats holding paper for me. That may explain my 30 year career in the printing industry. Thanks to Retromags for a great community that shares the love of printed media.1 point

Personaly, I’m subcribed to Pure Nintendo, Old School Gamer and Nintendo Force. They offer a print version but I only get the digital. All 3 US based. And like kitsunebi mentioned, the main one still standing is PC Gamer, but for how long… dablais1 point
