I just found this site that has some of the old CGW (Computer Gamin World) magazines, it's fun to look through they have review for games like Ultima 1 and Wolfenstein (not 3d). The site is here in case anyone wants to take a look.

I've played at least one title in 5 in all of those articles. Great trip down memory lane; thank you!

Creating a mod requires: Creativity. Skill. Effort. Two out of three doesn't count.

Man, CGW is an awful magazine. I used to get it for free and still canceled it.

But then, most gaming magazines are a waste of time.

Whoever maintains that page is a fricking otaku. Thumbnails of February 1992 and May 1996 represent japanese console rpgs :|

It's also funny seeing the occasional price tag sticker on some of them.

Maybe they'll get to putting ISOs of their old demo cds starting in 1995. CGW only really started to suck in late 1997.

Yeah, same here. Once and a while they'd have a decent review; I lol'ed at their B&W2 review because of how snide (and true) it was. :P. But other than that it was mostly just ignorant gibberish. Kind of like X-Play.

Good game design is about copying what works and maybe taking a few chances on your own.

If it was a compilation of Play magazine in PDF form, I'd love you forever.

For this, no. I only like the demo disks. For computer magazines, I go for PC Gamer magazine (They also feature a lot of mods in their magazine).

Likewise. Play magazine is amazing.

Edit: Well, maybe minus their fixation on anime breasts.
