Me and my brother would sit in the magazine aisle at the grocery store and pore over Nintendo Power like it was a religious text lol

Also, you just made me remember getting all those demo discs with PlayStation magazine

Growing up, I was quite brand loyal with occasional dips to other magazines if the freebies were any good.

ZX Spectrum - Crash magazine Atari ST - ST Format with semi regular copies of ST Action depending on the demo disks. PC - PC Format. Dreamcast - The official Dreamcast magazine, it was the only one with demo CDs. GameCube - I honestly can’t remember which magazine but I definitely bought one regulary.

By the time I had the first Xbox, all reviews and news I was getting from the internet.

IA has a TON of old gaming magazines. Will always have a soft spot for Nintendo Power, but also the hype gen 5 magazines of the 90s like Saturn and Official PS magazine

Computer Gaming World was my favorite.

Thankfully there is a handy archive of it!

I grew up in the U.S., so Nintendo Power, GamePro, and Tips & Tricks were my favorites in elementary school. Then I discovered EGM and was hooked through college. I’m still sad about 1up.com.

You mean when I was a kid and had a dinosaur as a pet instead of a dog? Compute!'s Gazette, Compute!, Ahoy!, Your 64. Amiga Format, Electronic Games, Nintendo Power, and some other magazines I can’t remember. I was a junky for magazines and still am.
