Which were your favourite magazines back in the day?

I recall having the first issue of Total which I thought was amazing, it covered NES and Gameboy and had Steve Jarratt and Andy Dyer featured throughout with them trading insults, it reminds me of Bottom in some ways. Andy was very much like Richie's (Rik Mayall) character, but obviously cleaner.
It’s funny you say this as that’s exactly what drew me towards Total as well :)
 
My very first ever games magazine was Commodore Format issue 6 in about 1990, when I'd have been 8. Read it cover to cover and played the games and demos on the cover cassette a lot!

Never subscribed, but did buy a dozen or so issues of Commodore Format's short ish run. I did subscribe to GB Action when I got a Gameboy (probably age 10) though.

Then I subscribed to Total!, a Nintendo mag that covered both GB and the SNES I got for Xmas '93 or '94 (late in the day for SNES). Then subscribed to Official Playstation Magazine in about '96 or '97 when I got one of those.

That was it for games mags, for me. Aside from odd CV&G issues and maybe a Gamesmaster issue or two
