I have a lot of the old Sega Visions magazines. Would you be interested in those? They contained a positive bias (every game was pretty great) since it was published by or for Sega but they are still great period pieces. That magazine was the reason I bought a lot of the Genesis games I did buy.

A very important element to these magazines are the previews of unreleased software or early builds that hardcore fanbases search for. This is also useful for following the progression of game development. The industry above all could benefit the most from studying these archives. Membership should be open and free to all in my opinion.

This is a great idea, I definitely have some of those old gamepro/next generaion mags. Next gen especially was very well written for it’s time, and carries some great historical input into the gaming discussion. Will have to track them down over the holiday.
I don’t understand this premium members thing though.

I totally agree, I grew up on video game magazines and would love to contribute. I have a great collection of old NMS magazines(Nintendo Magazine System, Australia’s Nintendo Power) as well as a a stack of other old magazines. I’m pretty busy ATM but I’ll look into contributing in the future.
