"Blast from the past... Special Reserve edition"

Whoa,
I didn't know this place was still going. Shame I can't remember my old log in.

I've noticed pb is still hanging around but anyone else?

The 'chair and mogle' were on the back cover and inside the front cover ... 'reddies' at the ready to swop :¬)

Used to use UkCheats a lot when I was younger. Actually bothering to do anything more came along later!

Yep, cost me a fiver.

I've still got a stack of the magazines somewhere or another. Only once went into any of the shops though, whilst passing through Egham...

Didn't Myst sell her soul on eBay once? :S

Collecting Reddies for free gifts was such a great idea I thought. I can still remember selecting my gifts and most likely still own a few of them somehwere. Did get some rather naff GC memory cards once though, blegh

YES!! I remember that fondly. Had 20 or so reddies at one point, swapped them for what I now know is random rubbish, but at the time I was like "coooooll, a glow in the dark flask and invisible ink pen!!!" Although I did get some good stuff, that Nintendo Alarm clock? I still have it, somewhere in a storage box.

I think I've thrown away all the glossy Special reserve magazines though, I used to obsess over what were dull lists of products as I contemplated what to save up for next. The internet just isn't the same with its instant search.

I'm sounding like an old geezer already... "back in the day when we had printed magazines"

Special Reserve was great back in the day. It was my first forum, and gave me a bit of confidence when times were crap in life.

But now... it's all gone, forever, lost in the abyss, never to be seen in its corporeal form again.

Goodbye my sweet love :'(
