The Computer Gaming World Magazine Museum. They have uploaded, to my understanding, at least 100 of the magazine's old issues to the site. You can request a DVD from them with the issues themselves, or you can pick and choose what magazine you'd like to see.

Looking at these mags takes me way, WAY back, and makes me remember things like playing games on my Tandy (and later, Packard Bell) pc, sound cards, game ports, VGA graphics, reader service cards... I could go on for a while.

Go check it out...

Haha thanks. My earliest memories are using a hole punch to make floppys into double sided (yes, it was a legit way to double your storage at the time), and afterwards flipping over the 5.25" disks to get to the 2nd side of the game.

Qbert, frogger, centipede, styx, I played em all.

Reminds me of playing ghosts and goblins on commodore 64 as well, lol. I still have mine in my parents attic!

Wow. Makes me wish I could get my hands on my old Atari/Tandy computers. Just memories now...

Anyone take a look at any specific issue pdfs yet?
