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.

    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?

      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.
