    Great idea for a thread!

    Without going around my parents (which I use as a free storage place) and looking, I'll try and dig into the depths of my memory....

    ..erm..darkness...right...oh yeah!

    Oldest would be a Sinclair User. Had a full collection of these but gave them away when I got my Atari ST. At that age, you're not bothered about hoarding stuff, that mental illness comes on with age! One however survived the culling - it has a pixelated Tarzan swinging through the jungle on the front cover with a yellow background!

    Erm, next oldest will be issue 1 of the Games Machine. I have a few issue 1's from various mags, but this one is the oldest I think. Bought it at an Airport with my parents to read on the plane. It was our very first holiday abroad and the memory is still vivid. I can even picture the front cover. I remember listing the games I wanted for the ST when I got back from our hols. Those were the days.

    Great memories.

    Wow! Issue 1 of ST/Amiga Format. Nice. I've only got it from issue 8.

    As for the earliest magazine I own. That is a difficult one. I think it could be a PC World magazine from 1984, featuring the Amstrad CPC 464.

    If you haven't played a classic game in years, it's never too late to start!

    I've got an early issue of Amiga Computing (issue 3 I think) from about the same time as that ST/Amiga Format issue.

    I also own the first issue of Amiga Format from August 1989
    I've lost my smile again...

    I think mines an MSX Computing from about 1985 which included a Basic programme called DANI-Dynamic Aritificial Non Intelligence. And there is a version of it for the PC.

    I dumped all of my magazines :-( I only collect Retrogamer and the german Retro magazin, nothing else, as it takes too much place to store later.
