]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Retromags is an awesome project. There are some great issues on there.

I recommend Super Play to anyone, it's a surprisingly mature read for a Nintendo magazine. And features one of the best cover arts I've seen on a magazine.

And to think, all that time I was buying Nintendo Magazine System...

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> I still have a few older magazines in my collection (I have an issue of EGM from 93 that has an article on the Ranma 1/2 Hard Battle game). Another one I kept was the Sept. 95 issue of Diehard Gamefan (the issue that had an article that, because of it's racist content, got the article writer canned reeeal quick). Mostly kept Gamefans, the yearly specials, and pretty much all the Official Dreamcast mags (also have a number of Japanese game mags dating back to 1990...).

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> @eastx: What's that implying, I'm poor? $5 is a lot for a magazine. I'll spend $10 on an album though, or the $5 it cost me to buy Jerry Maguire on DVD, but not $5 on a magazine.

kylo4

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> I pretty much have every issue of EGM from that issue up until the late 1990s.. I bought them all at the store, and they're pretty far from mint (hey, I read them), but at least they're mine.

Actually even though they like to dismiss it as a "pre-EGM newsletter", I think that the issues of Electronic Game Player (EGP) are the definitive first issues of EGM proper. It had everything.. Quarterman, the same editors, layouts of the early EGM's. It's only difference is pretty much in name.

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Thanks for the link, In a few short hours you guys gave me as much traffic as I see in a month (5700 uniques). As for the dispute on if this is the first issue of EGM. It is Issue #1, If you count backwards from Issue 25....then this issue is Issue 1, but EGM did release the 1989 buyers guide beforehand. Check out more about it here.....[www.magweasel.com]

Also, although I'm not a PC fan, PC Accelerator was always a great read.

It's a stand-up Nintendo custom arcade cabinet like thing. It was 18 years ahead of it's time, with what the mame arcades being popular now.

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Yes the first issue of Nintendo Power, Gamepro, EGM and Sega Visions are all over at Retromags :p

Phillyman2008

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Oh, and I do have the first issue of GamePro...they were handing them out at a Toys R Us. The cover text simply said "NINTENDO - SEGA - ATARI." It did have a preview of SMB3 though, which was unheard of in US magazines at the time since Nintendo Power was the only game in town. As horrible as GamePro turned out to be, I do give them respect for being the first fairly well done magazine to succeed in getting "hot newz" outside of Nintendo's own mag. The only other viable Nintendo Power competitors at the time were utter crap like "Video Games & Computer Entertainment," which never had anything to get you excited...it was just crudely constructed maps for Platoon or a horrible error-filled guide to Friday the 13th.

KaneRobot

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Pretty cool. I started buying EGM with #12, which had an awesome, awesome, AWESOME Ninja Gaiden II cover that was just a well-chosen screenshot. Funny how a screenshot from an 8-bit NES game puts almost all their other covers since then to shame.

Too bad EGM isn't fit for toilet paper these days...I have no problem reminicing about the first 8 or 10 years though.

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> WTF is up with the captcha on rapid share? You have to match letters with melting cats and you have to avoid the ones with the dogs or you get it wrong and there's no handicap option. Then on top of it all, they smudge the hell out of the letters. Seriously it's like playing a mini game from hell just to download a file!

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> I love the 1UP team, but the podcasts are where they really shine. I buy EGM from time to time, but really it's so thin that I'm usually done before I leave the newsagents...

The UK is lucky to have two top-notch gaming magazines in EDGE and games(TM), I wouldn't miss an issue of either.

The trick to print media these days is definitely to ignore news -- it's all about the articles.

playclever

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Wow, actually remember that magazine cover!!!! Old school!

mindf1ow

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> 1) I still have the very first issue of PC Gamer. Now THAT was my magazine...sigh. I miss it so.

2) You think THAT Mega Man is bad? Have you SEEN the box art for the very first game? That cover is for Mega Man 2.

Spoony Bard

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Technically this is Issue #1, If you go to Magweasels website and count backwards from Issue #25, This issue comes out to be Issue #1. I believe the 1989 Buyers Guide is Issue #0 (Like Dreamcast Magazine). Oh and thanks for mentioning my little website over here, I only get about 300 Unique visitors each day, and you just tripled that in a matter of minutes!

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> @vanderblade: I was referring to how when you buy an Edge card at Gamestop they give you a 12 month subscription to GI.

Game Informer is still a sad, sad mag in my opinion. They get great exclusives but the writing always feels like an afterthought.

Thorax

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> EGM's good, but GamePlayers was the best gaming mag ever.

If anyone has issue 80 on hand, turn to the back page. You'll see an image of me at 12 years old wearing a tutu.

I was a pretty big deal. People knew me.

Pombar

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> @Thorax: EGM gives thousands of subscriptions away. I got mine through partnership between Joystiq and EGM. It actually garners them more money, because if they can show they have a high readership, they can charge more for ads.

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> I erm...

I still read magazines, especially EGM.

Deaf Mute

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> God that cover was horrible. It's still not MegaMan 1 bad, but seriously, what the crap? Some weird guy shooting people with a pistol? Seriously, you'd never know what a truly awesome game is in that box.

Oh, and wow, I can't believe EGM has been around that long!

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> This just shows that no matter what happens to the game industry, there will always be some things that stay the same. Usually promotional art/ box covers generally make the game look more graphically superior than it actually is.

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]>

Technically that's not the first issue of EGM. The 1989 buyers guide is. I recently had the first issues of EGM and sold them on Ebay for 90 dollars. You can see them at my blog.

[blogs.ign.com]

Orionsaint

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Still the best magazine you can buy.

Unlike Game Informer, which they practically have to give subscriptions aways.

Thorax

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Downloadable Edge #1 is what I want. The best gaming magazine there has ever been, the fairest and the toughest of games. No other media, online or off, can quite give the same seal of approval the ridiculously rare 10/10 means.

Plus you know its good when the back is just full of game industry jobs showing that is for industry types as well.

Communist_Gamer

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> I will download this it will be a relic that I can blow up as art, my grandkids will ask; "What is that?" I will say a magazine. They will scowl in confusion of why we would want to use paper to transmit information.

Gray665

]]> <![CDATA[Download EGM #1 In Mint Condition]]> Man, EGM was awesome back in the day, i couldn't wait for every new issue, but as the years kept going by so did the number of pages dedicated to ads, until i remember there was an ad for EA sports that was about 12 pages, it wasnt a feature or something, it was an AD!!! thats when i decided to stop buying it..
