I also have a huge retro console and handheld collection. A 300+ LaserDisc collection, and 3 decks. Probably 200+ VHS, and 4 decks. A small camcorder collection, and some rackmount Teac hi8 decks, because I really like filming in hi8. An unspeakable amount of moden and retro computing gear. Etc, etc, so forth.
I basically have a curated museum, all delicately taken care of.
I had a smallish collection as kid and into my teens, which is when I developed my nostalgia for the publication. However those are long lost to the recycle bin.
My current collection was put together piece by piece while watching ebay like a hawk, and keeping a spreadsheet of what issues I already had, what condition they were in, and if I was satisfied with said condition.
I did the same for the demo CDs, and the actual floppy disks they included in 1994. That collection still isn’t complete, the floppies in particular are hard to find.

That’s pretty good. Are all those PC magazines ones you’ve owned since they were released or did you buy them all at once?
