Would be nice, but $46 international shipping in 2025...wow
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
Bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate? Won't that just encourage speculation purchasers calling themselves "collectors" to try to resell them at absurd prices in a few years?
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!
That's awesome! Sometimes I regret throwing out my milk crates full of old Nintendo Powers from the 90s. I miss flipping through those.
