Hello,

This topic came up on this forum a while back, but I sure like my old game/computer magazines -- I have a Room of Doom filled with them, in fact. So I decided to put up a website devoted to the history and collecting of them. It's at

http://www.magweasel.com

And right now there's

- About 1200 scans of covers and things, uploaded and browsable but in pretty random order
- Indexes and pocket histories of four different magazines
- A lovable logo and some wiki software
- A forum

The top task right now is to build indexes for more magazines so the covers are more easily browsable. After that I'll start to get serious with writing stuff for each entry -- history and so forth, like I did with Game Buyer.

Lemme know what you think so far, and thanks in advance.

Awesome site ! I know this is going to be very big in the future. I will gladly "spread the word" of it to all forums on the Internet. Hopefully, that'll help find contributors. Hey, if your interested in scans of old Brazilian magazines, Ill be glad to help you. Think about it, an international section! :-P

Good luck. :)

I'll have to keep that in mind, actually. I have some old GamePowers, but not much else in terms of Brazil.

Thanks much for reading.

I've checked out the site already through Kotaku.com. I was very impressed and I hunger for more. Its a great idea and I'm sure it'll grow into something big.
