I nice piece by Keith Stuart over at the Guardian on old games mags. Worryingly, I actually agree with most of his list, and even the order it’s in. That has to be a first.
@craiggrannell I’d place Maximim higher up, Games TM lower down, add The One, split out Crash and Zzap!64, drop Edge down to 2nd or 3rd and place Zzap!64 at top. Not for nostalgic reasons. Crash came first but Zzap!64 got it spot on after issue 3 and ended up influencing Crash in return.
@marksemczyszyn Yep. I get the love for people’s platform of choice, but Zzap! was objectively the best Newsfield mag, for all kinds of reasons. (Similarly, weird to see YS and CU paired. The former was so far ahead of the latter that it’s painful. CU shouldn’t be anywhere near a top 15.)
