I want this magazine. Maybe I'll look for a backlog collection for purchase. Normal game magazines strive on sizzling new information and scoops and then lose purpose after a couple months, but this magazine clearly will be worthwhile no matter how old.

Issues show up on eBay every now and then, but they still go for $10 or more an issue.
I've snagged a couple older ones.
The only thing I don't like is they are pretty thick and I'm a higher-quality paper than most magazines, so I get paranoid about reading them casually for fear that they won't stay as pretty.

Which issue was Racketboy featured in? Was it an article or an advert?

EDIT: Nevermind, just saw the post.
