i know that i made a similar thread before where i was looking for a couple of older issues of EGM. But i started thinking about other mag collectors like myself.
Just curious, if you collect older gamer mags, why? Which ones and why? Where do you get your retro mags and why? i really like j2games.com because every issue i get from them seems to be in near mint condition.
Personally, i like to collect them because i kept all of the ones from my childhood and early teenage years, and i thought i would try to complete some of those. Also, i just like remembering the past. I've even caught my wife looking at some of them and yelling the occasional "ooohh i remember that game".
Of course, i'm an avid but responsible gamer and collector. I just feel like collecting gamer mags from the past is part of video game collecting as a whole. Its just kind of cool reading mags that represent the same era of gaming included in my video game collection.
anyway, you guys have a wonderful night and please, if you ever play xbox live, send me a friend request. gamertag is ncman071
