    100 Issues Of Computer Gaming World, Free

    I was shocked when a co-worker brought in the most recent issue of Computer Gaming World, which happened to be the magazine's 25th anniversary edition. Holy crap! Twenty five years? Just one more thing to make me feel old.

    It also happens to be the final issue of CGW, before the pub is retitled Games For Windows: The Official Magazine, inline with Microsoft's branding efforts to homogenize and publicize the Windows gaming platform.

    Good news for cheap (and nostalgic) PC gamer types is that the folks at CGW have, with the diligent help of Stephane Racle of the Computer Gaming World Museum, archived the first one hundred issues in PDF format. And they're free. For you. To download.

    Classic stuff that's fun to look back on, and in our cynical tradition, mock incessantly. Michael McWhertor
