If you've a nostalgia for old-timey video-gaming magazines, there's a
great archive of the things at Retromags https://www.retromags.com/
While there are partial collections elsewhere (archive.org has a
bunch) they tend to be scattered about and not well organized. The >collections at Retromags aren't complete (yet) but their offerings are
fuller than I've seen anywhere else. I find it an incredibly useful
resource for researching old games and video-gaming hardware. Plus,
it's just fun to read some of the reviews of the beloved (and
forgotten) games of yesteryear. Sometimes the games we cherish today
weren't well received at all back when they were released.
Maybe some of you will find this as interesting as I do. Or not. But
either way, now you know the place exists. ;-)

Love it! I never heard of any of those in the pictures. I am
surprised.
But "Interaction" is the one for me!! Being combat flight sim addict
back in the day with my dual Vodoo graphics cards in SLI mode!!
I don't have as fond memories of InterAction, largely because it's
Sierra On-line's newsletter and focused almost entirely on their
products alone. And obviously they never had anything bad to say about >Sierra's games. This meant the magazine only had limited utility for
me; good for previews but not much more.
I didn't know it was a Sierra thing. I thought it was a magazine for
flight simes. But I have good memories of Sierra-online!
