Looking at those magazine archives makes me want to read the old magazines again.
Makes you recall the pleasure of opening a new issue.Comment

Also got quite a few of PC Pro from the mid 90s to early 00s, but I'm thinking of getting rid of those - they're extremely bulky, and almost all there is in there is just reviews of a parade of PC clones and articles on migrating to Exchange Server or suchlike gubbins. The programming columns often had some good algorithmic stuff in them, but I can't really justify the storage space for three pages out of a 500 page magazine which don't contain anything I couldn't find in ten seconds with Google. And most of those 500 pages are just adverts for said clones.Comment

God.
I could ramble on about this for hours, so I'll keep it short:
- C64! SID chip still sounds awesome today (check out Nectarine Demoscene radio for some "bangin' choons".)
- Amiga - absolutely legendary machine. Multitasking was fantastic enough, but Gunship 2000 on an AGA A1200 blew my nuts off.
- Acorn Archimedes - had a fantastic port of Lemmings and Lander (precursor to Virus?) was stunning at the time. The platform never really picked up enough steam to keep going though - damned shame.
If you're more of an arcade dweller, then you'll want to at least swivel your eyeballs at these guys. The Heart Of GamingComment
