also if you have ANY gaming mags from 1991-1997 i am interested. specifically GamePro/S.W.A.T.Pro, Die Hard Game Fan, Sega Visions, Mega Play, Game Players, and Next Generation.
Also, if you happen to have any Game Informers from 1999-2001, I would be interested in those!

You guys are gonna kill me .........

Had first 4 years of PC GAMER mag, every issue and CD. Kept the specials and first issue and dumped rest at local library. I did keep all those CD's though. Computer mags gave way to console game guides.

I have a stack of nintendo power magazine, tips and Tricks, game-pro, EGM, and one issue of Next-Generation. They are hidden in my home somewhere.

I think I have several years of Next Generation Magazine in my attic as well as quite a few Nintendo Power magazines. I think the Next Generation stuff dates from when Mario 64 came out somewhere around there. I remember one distinctive cover of Duke Nukem standing behind a naked Lara Croft and covering her up like:

I have a ton of Highlights for Kids magazines from when I used to read them. I never pitched them, and they just take up space now. It's still fun to look through them once in a while, and see old stories I read when I was little. Of course, Highlights isn't exactly a game magazine, though.

The game is finding things on the cover of the mag. Great game at that!

I still have about 3 years' worth of Highlights magazines, complete with the yellow plastic holders. There are some things in those magazines that are actually pretty interesting - one article talked about molecules and about how Buckminsterfullerene (the carbon molecule C60) was discovered. I did research using molecules like this during an internship I had two years ago, so it's fun to look back and see stuff like that in a magazine for KIDS! :lol:

I also used to have about 3-4 years' worth of Game Informers and a couple of Nintendo Powers... which I threw out one summer while cleaning my room. I'm regretting that now. :(
