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.  :)

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
