I used to read Computer Entertainment, EGM and Gamepro in the 80's and 90's but I gave them up years ago. Now I go to http://www.retromags.com/forums/index.php?

They work on collecting magazines from the 70's up to 1999. That's the strict rule and recently they lost their Rapidshare links and are working on uploading them again. I suggest visiting them their.

It got to be so much of a pain for me always moving around and having to lug boxes and boxes of videogame junk. Like the 50 pound ball of power wires interwoven with 20 pounds of rf adapters. That and sometimes having to sleep in my car.

I gave my games to people I thought could cary on the legacy. As for me now I collect computers. My long term goal is to build 4 or five arcade boxes and rig up the computer inside to boot up windows xp and then organize the shortcuts on the desktop for all the old stuff. They must be powered by a wind turbine with a batery storage and power inverters. For those power outage days when all you can do is read a book I will fire up Donkey Kong.

It only takes an 800 megaherz microprocessor to run a super Nintendo emulator without any other junk installed. I have piles of those parts, all I need are a couple good old hard drives and to buid a cabinet. I'am a good woodwork and self proclaimed computer engineer.
