I won’t ask twice.
Miku please just let me see my family
You may go
Gen Z here, what’s a “maga Sheen?”
It’s like a zine but before the MAGA movement defunded all journalism so it wasn’t indie.
Late 80s/early 90s Nintendo Power was a vibe, family had a subscription for several years and I wish they had kept them, after that I usually only got to read gaming magazines at the grocery store while my parents shopped.
Pretty sure I had this issue or that cover is just etched into my brain somehow. https://archive.org/details/nintendopowerissue001julyaugust1988_201908/mode/2up
My cousin still has his nintendo powers I think.
This must have been something they stopped doing after a while but this issue has a phone interview with
“He’s as loyal to his crew as Mario is to Luigi”

Basic answer, but Nintendo Power, the goat.
Game Informer and Electronic Gaming Monthly were also cool, the former especially because they would get creative in April with their April Fools “Game Infarcer” special feature.
Best April Fools will still be Akuma in RE2.
Nothing cause who in the world reads gaming magazines anymore?
Ultra Game Players
I don’t think I’ve ever read this.
Edge
I want to say I had an issue of this once, not sure.
It’s a Br*tish one, but they did a magazine called Next Generation through the 90s and early 2000s for the US market that was mostly reprinted material from Edge.
Does Joystiq count
Sure why not
Those old Playstation magazines that used to send out the demo discs with the late-90s jungle breaks serving as menu music
pc gamer of course
Their demos kicked ass.
yeah my family was poor af so the $3 magazine was really the only way i could play any games
Favorite issue? EGM issue #113, December 1998. 300 dang pages with OoT on the cover.
Favorite magazine? Ultra GamePlayers. No, Next Generation. No, uhhhh
EGM was kind of a big deal magazine, I remember it being a high standard.
Mad magazine
Mac Addict used to come with shareware CDs, and the apps were frequently not actually the shareware version, or had the upgrade password in a text file, or whatever
That’s awesome. Love me some shareware.
Burpee?
No, fuck!
