Game Magazine Collection
Back when I was reviewing video games, I received a lot of game magazines, usually for free as one of the benefits of writing my column. As such, I amassed quite a pile of vintage game magazines. Like my game collection, I split the freebies with my co-author, thus while he ended up with a rather large TurboPlay and GamePro stash, I was able to horde most of the EGM's and Sega Visions mags.
I've been slowly trying to document and archive what I own, as well as fill in some of the gaps that are missing. Other than Next Generation, I try to only collect magazines that were released pre-'95, before the internet took over. Right now I'm focusing on completing my Next Generation, Sega Visions/Team Newletter and EGM (up to issue 60) collections specifically.
