"Ye Olde (videogame) Magazines..."

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.

I think my drawing was in one of those two before. It was a beat 'em up with Kenny (South Park) Vs. Bomerman. Proud.

YS = Your Sinclair, yes. Worked there, met Duncan McDonald and Tzar too. Good fun.

YS = YOur Sinclair?

I used to buy that too.

I still have all the games in my attic, no Speccy though.

:(

I used to buy YS. I reckon I've got an odd copy or two stashed away somewhere. Those were the days...

And who could forget Advanced Lawnmower Sim on YS, a Duncan McDonald classic game on the cover, plus 'Whistling' Davey Wilson's 'Hold My Hand Very Tightly' as a cover tape song.

Ah, the memories.

I used to buy Crash

*shows her age*

Used to get a tape with four free games every mag. You don't get that these days.

How can they be old if they feature Robbie Williams? Tsk. Truly old videogames magazines are far better than some of the stuff out today, just look at mid to late 80's stuff from C&VG, Zzap, Crash, YS, YC, SU etc. Truly inspired.

Youngsters....

I used to read GamesMaster and a GameBoy one. Oh, and an Amstrad one before them.

I was flicking through an old GamesMaster a year or so ago, and it was going on about how amazing the graphics were going to be in Quake. Cripes!

Two of the best magzines were Playstation Plus and Playstation power. This was before they got all serious and revamped. Yes they did have semi-naked ladies in most of the time but that still didn't detract from the fact that they were great. Never took it too seriously.

Just put your pics on a geosite or something. Not very professional but there on there so you know...
