I have a scanner but no web space. If I scanned some pictures, could someone put 'em up. I've some old magazines that you guys would find amusing. Game Talk with Robbie Williams playing a Game Boy in bed (not what he plays with in bed nowadays). Also, Mean Machines, but I've only got a page of that:( If you don't know Mean Machines, it was THE best, hardcore videogames magazine you could buy. Like Edge but with the pretension and over-inflated sense of self-worth.

you are correct.

THE best computer games mag ever was Amiga Power.
I command you to pay Future Publishing £100,000,000 as a bribe to resurrect it.
Do as I say, and you shall be spared from the fiery torment of Sheol for all eternity.

ZERO magazine was the nuts. David 'Macca' McCandless and Jonathan Ross's wife, who's name escapes me. Was brilliant.
Interesting fact: I sit in the same chair that Dave 'Bandanna Nob' Perry used to sit in when he worked for Special Reserve.

Duncan McDonald said he wrote that as an office joke and it found its way in to the april reviews section. I think I played a prototype of it before it was in the magazine.
Mind you, that was back in the day when we were all amazed by Crystal Quest on the office Mac.

Yeah I did. C&VG or CVG as me and my mates always called it ruled, then it became less good when they scraped the old style and replaced it with that newer version. Is it still about? I'm pretty sure it isn't, but haven't bought a games magaine for about a year.

Ah Mean Machines Sega was truly excellent....and Gamesmaster magazine before it went all kiddyfied.
And Edge is pretensious and has an over-inflated sense of self-worth. Don't get me wrong, Edge is a good read, but too many people seem to be under the illusion that just because they read it they are somehow a hardcore gamer or more intelligent than the average gamer.
The letters page is always good for a laugh, full of self important people trying to make grown up arguments, like when Edge did the cover filled with the bottom half of Kasumi from DOAX Volleyball.....that caused about five letters of people complaining about the cover. Honestly, some times I wonder why the people who write in even bother playing games !
Games TM looks like it holds promise though....

yes I used to buy it aswell, I've got a couple of issues I kept for the memories. One of the games believe it or not is 'Lawn Mower Simulator', and another was 'Psycho Pigs'. quality, I loved my speccy. When I've got a few quid I'm going to buy a rubber keyed speccy, put it in a frame and put it on me wall.

hey did anyone read C&VG when they had that 'yob' character in it? He used to insult the crap out of people that sent them letters. They got told off though I think because some of the insults were particularly graphic. i used to laugh myself silly at them. Did anyone else read that stuff?
