Are there any Classic Gaming magazines that you can download on the net? I know of The Classic Gamer, but they seem to be running a little late on their newest issue. So, are there any others?

atariage.com has issues of Atari Age, Atarian, and most of the old company newsletters.

There used to be a site with PDFs of Joystik, but it went somewhere... I also have one or two issues of Electronic Games that I think I dl'd off of Usenet.

Oh, you meant modern classic gaming magazines? Well er I

If you are looking for classic gaming mags (granted, not free dowloads, but the actual magazines themselves) visit www.J2GAMES.com.

I have about 300+ magazines in stock back to Electronic Games Magazine, 1984.

Here's the Joystik issues. However, just note that although they look "complete" they're not. Many of the pages dealing with home console games were not scanned. If you just look at the page numbers you'd see when pages are or are not missing, etc. But since Joystik was mainly arcade focused anyway, the majority of pages are there. The Dec. 82 issue is my scan actually since that was the one issue never originally done (since it only dealt with home games most likely LOL)

I also uploaded a large PDF of an early Electronic Games mag just a couple of weeks ago (http://www.digitpress.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45698). But I've long since taken it down. I can probably put it up again if enough people want it.

That must have been the one I downloaded off of Usenet. You're a good man, NE1.
