Ha! My dad bought me a subscription to Compute! Magazine way back in the day. I still have issues around here somewhere. Brings back memories.  :)

[edit] Here's a link to Compute!'s archive (https://archive.org/details/compute-magazine?&sort=-downloads&page=2). I have some of the 80's issues. [/edit]

How I remember sitting at my C64 typing in code from one magazine or another.

Good times.

Am I the only one that went screaming onto both sites, looking for The General?    :(

Still got a few PC gamer issues from the late 90s/ early 2000's. Man those things were beefy and full of content especially compared to the overpriced crappola they put out currently

The one i miss the most is Strategy Plus magazine:

In 2nd place i'd go for CGW, at least there is the CGW museum site to read those great old mags:
