Someone posted on another forum (N64 Forever) asking if they could download a magazine (N64 Pro, which I've never heard of, so it probably wasn't British), so can anyone post any links for magazine (scans) download sites, please? It's be great if a site had N64 Pro, but even if not, please list any sites you know.

The sites I know are:

As awesome as a list like this is...I'm pretty sure a mod is gonna shut down the thread.

Well, all of the magazines I'm interested in are out of publication, it's not like we're asking for XBox One or PS4 magazines. Though yes, some of the sites do have modern magazines for download too, so if the mods feel that they should close or delete the thread then fair enough (and sorry if this was an inappropriate topic for a thread here).

Indeed. At least one of those sites also conducts active software piracy.

Anyone know if old copies of PCWorld have been archived yet?

back in the day I used to clip out interesting game reviews, previews, strategy articles, hardware reviews etc. to save space. I hope I held on to at least some of it. I'm a print guy - still read real books and periodicals.

These links will be fun to peruse though...
