Advertising in the 90s was something else.

I remember seeing this in PC Gamer in 1997 or 1998 and getting pumped.

Side note, I have a full collection of US PC Gamer issues, 1994-2000. I wonder if there’s any interest in HD scans?

    I’ve got a real problem lol.

    I also have a huge retro console and handheld collection. A 300+ LaserDisc collection, and 3 decks. Probably 200+ VHS, and 4 decks. A small camcorder collection, and some rackmount Teac hi8 decks, because I really like filming in hi8. An unspeakable amount of modern and retro computing gear. Etc, etc, so forth.

    I basically have a curated museum, all delicately taken care of.

      That’s pretty good. Are all those PC magazines ones you’ve owned since they were released or did you buy them all at once?

        I had a smallish collection as kid and into my teens, which is when I developed my nostalgia for the publication. However those are long lost to the recycle bin.

        My current collection was put together piece by piece while watching ebay like a hawk, and keeping a spreadsheet of what issues I already had, what condition they were in, and if I was satisfied with said condition.

        I did the same for the demo CDs, and the actual floppy disks they included in 1994. That collection still isn’t complete, the floppies in particular are hard to find.
