We know how obsolete they are. Whatever information they have, we can pick up on the World Wide Web. Quote Disable Sigs "Magic can happen to you."

My main magazine, for a time, was Electronic Gaming Monthly. Until the Sega vs. Nintendo wars started that is. I felt like EGM was heavily biased against the SNES, so I stopped buying the magazine.
Others I read on occasion were GameFan, Nintendo Power, and NextGen. I was lucky enough to have art submissions published in EGM 2 and GameFan. You love this signature.

Electronic Gaming Monthly was pretty good, but definitely catered to console gaming and triple A titles.
My favorite is PC Gamer |

@Vaporman:
I remember seeing an article about Killer Instinct in an old EGM issue, and it never occured to me that they were biased. ![]() "Magic can happen to you."

I was all about Nintendo Power. Nothing else came close to the quality of that magazine in my eyes.

Back in 2000, I was a subscriber to Expert Gamer magazine. I was only a subscriber for a year, but the issues brings back a lot of memories. It has news and tips on all the games that were out at the time, and it was also the first in which I got to learn about the Sega Dreamcast.
Also, for a few years, I was a subscriber to Playstation Magazine. The coolest thing about those were the fact that each issue came with it's own demo disc, which was a huge deal to me. Although, I liked the concept of Playstation Underground a lot better... mainly because it worked as a magazine, but all of the contents were inside the game discs as opposed to being in a paper magazine. Even though I wasn't a subscriber until the magazine was pretty much on their last legs, I had a ton of issues of Nintendo Power from around 1998-2000. I still have them in storage to this day, though there were some pages my mom made me rip out due to a project I was working on in high school. I still regret having some of those pages ripped off to this day. |

@blue: I had several Playstation Underground discs until I sold them via the Classifieds section. I still own the MST3K disc though!

I have a couple in my personal magazine, mostly from the 2000s. Game Informer, Nintendo Power, EGM, PlayStation: The Official Magazine, and my most favorite of all, Tips & Tricks Codebook.
