Heatman Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 The gaming industry have come a very long way with how it have developed over the last couple of years. Who still remembers the days of the gaming magazines? There used to be a time when I wouldn't miss going to look for them because of what I can get from them. Now, it's very rare for you to hear gamers talking about gaming magazines. What was the last time you had a gaming magazine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I used to buy them all the time when I was younger. Some of them used to have Demo CDs in them and lots of tips and tricks for games you were interested in. I haven't bought a gaming magazine in more than a decade.

Ravenfreak Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I used to have a subscription to Nintendo Power as a kid, and I remember going to the grocery store with my parents and going straight to the magazine section to look at the video game magazines. I hardly ever got the ones from the store since they were super expensive, but the Nintendo Power magazines helped me get the three Regis in Pokemon Ruby. I didn't have a computer at the time to look up guides, so yeah I do miss when magazines were the way to get information about upcoming games as well as walkthroughs. I know there is a magazine called the Retro Gamer that you can still purchase online, in fact one of the writers is part of the Sonic community which is cool.

That sounds pretty awesome - I did get quite a few Nintendo Power magazines back in the day as well except they were kind of outdated because the store I bought them from had them for ages.

Kennysplash Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Retro gamer is one that I remember vividly, and it’s still holding the line. It still helps players with their physical issues. Although it has gone digital as well, which was absolutely necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted October 13 Share Posted October 13 I remember flipping through gaming magazines for tips and reviews! Last one I had was probably over a decade ago. Nostalgia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
