Bit of a long shot here, but does anyone else here collect video game magazines and perhaps have copies of PC Gamer Vol 1 #s 2 (July) and 6 (November) that they wouldn't mind parting with?
I get a kick out of scanning in articles and reviews from those mid 90s issues of PC Gamer/PC Games/Computer Games Strategy Plus, but those two issues elude me (I try to keep an eye on eBay but older issues so rarely pop up). Unfortunately, there doesn't look like there's many other people interested in scanning these things or else I'd just grab a PDF. It's a bit understandable considering how unwieldy the issues get toward 97-98 (and when the ad-to-content ratio is brutally lopsided with repetitive and between issues).
But hey, if anyone can hook me up with either (or both!) of those issues, I pinky swear to devote a weekend scanning them in 100% for the benefit of the internet (PC Gamer's May 1996 issue for a reference of how it'll probably turn out).
Piggybacking on that (and making it more relevant to this forum vs buying and selling), are there any articles/game reviews/previews anyone's looking for a scan of from PC Gamer's history? I'm missing maybe a dozen issues across the whole run and at this point I'm working on both filling holes and replacing copies with damaged covers and spines, so I could probably fulfill just about any request (I typically prefer to stay outside of a 10year window of the current date unless it's something special to someone).
For example!
PC game sales data from 1997 (pg 1 of 2)
PC game sales data from 1997 (pg 2 of 2)
PC game sales data from 1998
PC game sales data from 1999 (pg 1 of 2)
PC game sales data from 1999 (pg 2 of 2)
PC game sales data from 2000 (pg 1 of 2)
PC game sales data from 2000 (pg 2 of 2)
Pretty much everything about Daikatana until release
More than a little bit about Deus Ex
Not quite everything about Looking Glass, but a good start
Some Bethesda stuff (I loved Future Shock and Skynet so much!)
