On Computer Games Monthly #1

https://archive.org/details/OCGM-1-Nov-2000

I have been working on a passion project for the last two months; a retro games magazine, and it's finally completed! This #zine is a digital celebration of nostalgia; a collective of writers from the federated internet that strives to capture the subjective quality of gaming with stories about life-and-stuff told through the lens of video games. Issue#1 covers November2000 and features: Breath of Fire IV, Counter Strike, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, love letters to the Dreamcast and PlayStation consoles, and much more.

I really miss magazines. I know print media is pretty much not viable anymore... But is there somebody making digital gaming magazines still? I don't mean having a website and calling your homepage a magazine, but those nice full page artworks, people paid to write content without the pressure of SEO, etc.

I'd pay for that.

Archive.org is such a good service.

Thanks for all the hard work so the rest of us can enjoy.

This is amazing, reminds me of reading PC Gamer back in the day (free demo CDs!). I love that you hosted it on the Internet Archive, great touch. How long did this issue take to put together?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

took about two months. i have a full-time job and two kids as well, so would have taken less time if i didn't have Grown Up Stuff to do.

Breath of Fire was good shit. Always was, always will be.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago

I'll stand behind anything that highlights Breath of Fire IV.
