I have been subscribing to this for ~~three~~ five months now and I love it! I elected the vintage magazine subscription (I think there are a couple options)
The magazines come bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate inside.
I’ve gotten three issues from the mid-to-late 1990s and one Electronic Games, October 1982! My fifth magazine will be in the mail soon.
Here’s what I’ve gotten, if anyone is curious:
Ultra Game Players, January 1997
Ultra Game Players, holiday 1997
GamePro, October 1995
Electronic Games, October 1982
Do you get any demo disks with them?
No, they are just magazines!
Booo (presuming they came with one)
I would opt out if it were available. I like magazines, but I don’t find old optical media useful at all.
I still have working consoles so for me they could be fun
I could potentially see them doing this if they get a lot of those, but they might not. People kept magazines, but a lot of people didn’t keep the discs with them.
The foundation also has a few dozen demo discs cataloged, with mirrors at archive.org if you want to burn some!
