It was the only magazine I had back in the day. Started with the Pokemon Gold/Silver issue and subscribed whenever my parents would pay for it, so I missed quite a few issues over the years. I still have all of mine in storage, too. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yea those were some big magazines even if they were crammed with ads. A 400 page magazine around the holidays was crazy. I still have a bunch though when I moved I just recycled some because meh I didn't need so many anymore :/ --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off. But I'm willing to bet on BoJack Horseman.

In the very early 90s when I was in high school. It was one of the only ways to get a little blurb and some photos about a game rather than blindly buying based on box art and description on the game case. I enjoyed it that first few years. --- PSN ID: sled_dogs76 60" Pioneer Kuro Elite PRO151FD, Yamaha RX-V3900 A/V Receiver, Oppo DV983-H player. Coming soon: 2 Seaton Submersives from Mark Seaton ...

I miss gaming mags, I wish they weren't dead in the U.S. Last mag I got was Retro Gamer, a U.K. mag, but I had to special order it. Game Informer was abruptly killed a few months back without letting the team make a proper sendoff final issue. That was the last surviving U.S. gaming mag. --- "Freedom is the right of all sentient beans" - Optimus Pintobean ... Copied to Clipboard!

Error1355 posted... Oh fuck, is it possible to still get the digital archive?Maybe. I don't use Kickstarter for much so I don't know how it all works. It looks like a lot of the choices are now blocked off but there are some you can still get. There's a digital late pledge option for 20 bucks. Then you can "add on" the archive for an extra 10 I think. ETA: Looks like you still can. I don't know if there's an option to only get the archive though. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a1c8ef2b.jpg I will say that they pushed back the delivery dates until June or something. I don't remember if the archive is pushed back as well but I would imagine it is. --- "No. I'm a man so theyll get me a full size McDouble." - DuncanWii https://i.imgur.com/cSxy3Od.png ...

Was subscribed for a few years in high school when Street Fighter 2 was taking off and EGM was the place to get information on fighting games. I remember dropping them around the time playstation took off because I hated how most of the reviews started reading to me. Felt like all the reviews were 3D games good, 2D games bad, if you don't have a playstation you suck. Switched over to GamePro and preferred their scorings of games (broken down to graphic,control, sound, fun) over EGM's single score. --- The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
