Great find!

I love looking at all the old peripherals and adverts. I think Amiga had the best magazines, although I mainly bought Nintendo mags in my youth.

A great resource.

I was a prolific purchaser of magazines back in the nineties early 00's. I used to spend a small fortune on gaming and men's magazines (the latter a novelty back then) FHM, Esquire & GQ. My girlfriend used to like the gawdy stories in FHM! GQ I could not afford half of the clothes advertised (student) - How and why I wasted money makes me wonder now...

Anyway, in the end - binned all my PC Zone, PC Format and PC Gamer magazines & cover disks.

I stopped buying magazines from 2001 when the Internet started to really take hold. It's great to be able to read these old magazines again. I do like to wander into WH Smiths or similar and make the odd purchase - a magazine does hold its own. Hard to describe 'why' when the information can be found online.

Fantastic stuff, thanks for sharing

I have enjoyed reading through the mags thank you.

It's really weird reading, knowing what happened.

And when it comes to the adverts, quickly checking on the auction sites for the item.
