As I was looking around for this I ran across a PC Zone Benelux 1998 demo CD image. Has some interesting late 1990s graphics card tweaking utilities in the drivers folder.

- Matrox MGA Mystique/Mystique 220 GCLK/MCLK Programmer
- NV3 Tweak Utility for the NVidia RIVA 128 and RIVA 128ZX
- ATI Rage II Tweaker Utility
- Matrox Millennium I & II Overclocker
- Stealth 2 Overclocking Utility
- "Tweek" Utility for the 3Dfx chipset
- "Tweek Rush" Utility for Hercules Stingray drivers
- Trevarrow Voodoo II Overclocking Panel
- Voodoo2 Overclock Property Page
- Voodoo Master

As the title says, I am looking for this specific Dutch issue and accompanying DVD. Throw me a PM if you happen to have this or know where it can be found. Thanks.

Unlikely to be useful but here's the issue and cover discs to their sister publication PC Zone (UK), March 2002:

I'll keep looking.

You could try contacting IDG Benelux, the former publishers of PC Zone Benelux, to see if they had any backissues or archives.

Maybe track down this "MrUT2120" guy from 2017: https://archief.xgn.nl/forum/gaming/whatever- … ne-benelux-8399
[EDIT] I've done so - he's on XBox Live. I've messaged him.

This guy is from 2005 and is long gone: https://forum.fok.nl/topic/691691/1/50

The Royal Library in the Netherlands has some of the cover discs, but only to view on site.

Thanks Stiletto,

I'll look into your suggestions. I appreciate the response.

Magazine was found and parts were scanned. About 75% down the article it is covered.

Nice to see this come to a (partial?) conclusion. Well done.

Just to be clear, I was not involved nor take any credit in locating it. I was just trying to help in the search by posting here. It’s a neat project for sure. I was amazed someone found the original Far Cry E3 2002 demo. Fun to see the game in such early development.

Heh, I was the one who was locating it (My real name is Flavius 😜), you don't want to know how hard the research was on something that was basically non existent and also a piece of paper, thank you for your commitment ,however, on trying to find it.

Excellent work sir. I've had a few preservation wins myself in locating some extremely hard to find materials. We all win when these wonderful historical items are found.

Thanks ! Glad to hear I am not the only one haha, and yeah it is a win - win situation, that's for sure.
