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.

Is that price per month? No thanks!

Wish I still had all my Nintendo Power magazines. When I finally stopped subscribing in the mid-90’s I had every one except the first three.

For those who don’t mind digital versions a certain Archive has the full set.

Yep! Internet Archive has a great catalogue for those interested in browsing and downloading old magazine issues for free.

The price is a bit steep but it goes towards critical archival work so I can forgive them for it, especially in this economy.

I applaud the efforts to do this. I’m sure it’s not easy sourcing and shipping the issues.

Amazing, yes.
