"How long have you been a SR memeber? Nationwide Search!"

I thought i'd do a little search to find out who is the longest-serving member of Special Reserve and what was your first purchase?

I believe that Special Reserve has been around for about 11 years now.

I know that my first purchase was a Sega Megadrive with Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Monaco Grand Prix and Streets of Rage (what a game!) I reckon this means i became a member (well, my mum did) about 9/10 years ago.

What about you lot?

P.s. For Die hard, long-serving members, can you remember what the monthly mag used to be called?

Not long enough though to remember what the monthly mag was called? (It had a title rather than just 'Special Reserve')

If anyone from the SR staff is listening... i'll accept your answer?!

1994ish

Think Sam and Max was one of the first things i got.

The mag used to be called NRG, and before that it was called Confidential, though it wasn't a mail order mag before that.

I remember ordering Street Fighter for the Atari ST, then crying because it needed a 1MB upgrade any my ST was a 540. Damn you Spez Rez staff!

I've been a member for about 10 years. I remember NRG. That was so long ago now...

1st thing I ordered was Lotus Challenge on the Amiga.
Back in...er...90-91 I think?

It was a tiny little room with a few metal shelves in and some blokes.

I Think I may have been a member in the eighties (88?) ? ... I think I joined so I could get Ultima 5 for the C64 at a discount...

However any memorys of before 1993 are all a little foggy I'm afraid... So I may have been thinking of something else entirely???
