    Post Oldest gaming mag?

    The other day I was looking through a box in the attic filled with a lot of old shit that was packaged when we moved. And to my suprise I found a few really old issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly. So I decided that I should post about it and let everyone else tell us if they have any old mags. Let's see who here has the oldest issue of EGM or Gamepro or any other multi-platform gaming mag.

    "In my right-hand I hold high above my head, one single issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly from March of 1994. It is issue 56."

    Remember, EGM and Gamepro have only existed for 11 years. &gt; <IMG SRC="smilies/straightface.gif" border="0">

    I have an issue of a magazine that is so old it is saying about games for Commodore 64, ZX-Spectrum and Atari ST. How old is that? I'll find out what it was called tonight though, if I can find the mag.

    I do have an old-ish Nintendo mag as well. It is called Nintendo Magazine System (NMS for short). It's now called Nintendo Official Magazine. Anyway, I have two NMS issues from January and February 1996. Other people will have other, older mags though. It was for SNES and Game Boy (the big, bulky classic one). By the way, I didn't find the other mag I mentioned. It's probably packed away with my 3 Commodore 64s though. If I ever get the box down though, I'll find out about the mag for you guys.
