Thanks you guys for being so nice and welcoming!!! I look forward to conversing around here and reading good classic gaming magazines!

Ahh the memories from the title of this thread.... My first game console was the Nintendo Entertainment System. I definitely miss that little gray box with the flap, and blowing into it and the cartridge to get some games to operate properly. First video game I remember playing when i was a kid on the NES was the Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt dual cart--freaking epic times on that with my sister and friends. I definitely have more fond memories of my second console though, the SNES, but I think that's just because I was older and able to remember more stuff though. First that I remember purchasing at the behest of my parents was definitely the original Game Boy Pocket. Red little guy I had to really beg for but it was totally worth it. Late night sessions of Street Fighter 2 and my mom screaming at me to turn my "damn game down" because I had the volume all the way up on Super Mario Land 2...priceless memories haha!

Hey everyone at RetroMags! I kind of stumbled upon your site searching for old issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly and GamePro among other old gaming magazines--I really have an itch to relive my childhood this weekend and reminisce. I miss those days haha! So I wanted to drop in and say hello! It's a pleasure to meet you all! Also, how do I go about downloading magazine scans from here? Apologies if that question is in an FAQ or has been answered a million times in the history of the forums--just call me the new guy...
