VGHF offers a magazine subscription where they’ll send out a random vintage issue each month to offload their collection of dupes. Thought it was a cool way to relive the past while supporting video game archival work.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

Would be nice, but $46 shipping in 2025…wow

Yikes, you’re right. I was so down for this until it was going to $75+ CAD per magazine. I’m really sad now.

I love this idea, what a great way to raise money

That's awesome! Sometimes I regret throwing out my milk crates full of old Nintendo Powers from the 90s. I miss flipping through those.

It’s not pretty and it’s rife with issues.
BUT this will let you search any game from the first issue to around 1996 and will tell you which issues it appears in

This is a really cool idea. I love it.

I have been subscribing to this for three months now and I love it!
The magazines come bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate inside.
I’ve gotten two issues from the late 1990s and one Electronic Games, October 1982!

Are you subbed to the 80s-90s option or to the “surprise me” option?
calliope@retrolemmy.com 6 months ago
The 80s-90s one!

Bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate? Won’t that just encourage speculation purchasers calling themselves “collectors” to try to resell them at absurd prices in a few years?
calliope@retrolemmy.com 6 months ago
Nah, bagging and boarding something doesn’t turn it into something to speculate on.
They do that for storage and shipping purposes.
