General Discussion / Re: Game Informer is back
Last post by kitsunebi - Mar 26, 2025, 03:44 PMEvery single issue of Game Informer up to the end of 2015 is available at Retromags, but you'd better grab them ASAP, since before they shut down, GI was one of the very few mags that had made a request that scans of their mags not be shared. Retromags only uploaded them after GI shut down (and even then, only up to the 10 year cutoff date they adhere to for any other mag), but now that GI is active again, all of those downloads may be coming down soon.

General Discussion / Re: Game Informer is back
Last post by SlamMaster - Mar 26, 2025, 03:03 PMInteresting! Glad to see print media surviving in this day and age. Anyone know if there is a way to rip the magazine archives from the new site?

General Discussion / Game Informer is back
Last post by gobbins - Mar 26, 2025, 11:59 AMIt looks like Game Informer is back and independent, too. The rights were bought by Neill Blomkamp's crypto NFT game studio, which is... interesting. But regardless, they say they have full independent and editorial control of the company so we'll see how it goes I suppose. You can get the last 10 years of GI magazines digitally by signing up.

That feels like one to two mags for every different computer system being sold back then.
BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Atom, Vic-20, C-64, Amstrad CPC, Atari, ZX-81, Spectrum 48k, CBM Pet, New Brain (I kid you not!!), TRS-80, DAI, Video Genie, Microcontroller, NASCOM 3, NEC PC8000, Sharp MZ, Sorceror (WTF?
) TI99/4a, ADAM, Memotech, Spectravideo SV-328, Dragon 32, Oric, GEC Dragon 64 (yet another ), Apple II, CGLM5 (what the ...??), Gemini Galaxy 2, Mattel Aquarius, Lucas LX ... and that list was pulled from a mere 3 mags from the early 1980's. Holy shit!! #46

Blimey, never heard of this one either! It's remarkable to think how prevalent the console was during this era, with every Tom, Dick, and Harry wanting their piece of the pie. I'll definitely flick through these. Appreciate the upload, Gregorick.
