I imagine there's a torrent of that collection out there somewhere. It was put together by the CGW Museum and CGW itself was fine with it. That archive is one hell of a blast to the past. I would love to see the rest of the magazines archived, but it is such time consuming work that it's almost insane to imagine (:)) and the issues of the '90s get absolutely ridiculously huge.

ZD does have digital versions of many of the issues from 2000 and later. It used to be possible to buy the digital copies. I have a feeling that they'll never do anything with them though considering how the company is falling apart.

I'm confused, where can I find the archive?

Whoa, that's crazy, so much! It seems to stop at 1992 though? 😀

Wow nice link Davros 😀

Yeah the CGW Museum only put together the first 100 issues because the "curator" over there is mainly interested in those years and because the '90s issues get to be about 500 pages each or so.

I've been pondering getting a document feeder scanner and chopping up my duplicate issues. Costs lots $$ money though and it would be a big undertaking.....

Man those were big magazines. Shame that it stopped there though, I would love to read some of the reviews of some of these cards. It's really difficult finding information on the old ones.

We dont care how much it costs you Swaaye 😁

Usenet is the place to go. Google Groups, to be exact. Just about everything has been discussed to death on there. Unfortunately you run into a lot of ancient flame wars. How things never change, eh.

It's actually somewhat entertaining to read flame wars with the perfectly clear hindsight we have of how that hardware turned out. Also gives one a new perspective on how it may not be worth the effort to become loyal to a piece of hardware that becomes meaningless so quickly. 😉

It's both tempting and somewhat horrifying to think about. It is very, very time-consuming work. But it is also so cool to have these magazines preserved for all and so easily accessible.

I am still completely amazed that the CGW Museum fellow did all that he did......
