Osmeroid Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 Does anyone remember "TV Gamer" mag? I've been trying to track down any recorded images and have so far turned up nothing - not a sausage I'd really appreciate it if anyone finds any links related to this magazine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted July 9, 2002 Share Posted July 9, 2002 You mean these? http://www.theoldcomputer.com/Libarary's/M...er%20(main).htm I found it using Google. I've never personally seen the magazine however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osmeroid Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 NE146 - You truly are a Guru Thanks man, this is fantastic!! Very much appreciated. I used to have nearly all of these mags but (being about 11 years old) sold them off for 10p a shot Oh the folly of youth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobf Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Also see: http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/mag02.html They do crop up on Ebay UK sometimes, but I've seen issues go for 20-30 quid each! Steve/Jobf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 £20 - £30 each!?! What was I thinking!!! Please, just put me out of my misery now - it really would be the kindest thing to do.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Nice link JobF. At least that guy had the balls to scan some of the issues in in full. Gotta love that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osmeroid Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 Seriously though, thanks guys! Well do I remember (was I really only 11!) how I was TOTALLY convinced that I would regularly save the princely sum of £30 to buy carts from Silica Shop. Nice to flick through copies of this magazine again, I've bookmarked Chris's site - Cheers Steve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 That is a great magazine to get nostalgic with! I always love looking at the old ads to see the marketing presentations and the prices that the consoles went for back then. I know my parents bought me several atari consoles and computers in the early 80's and these ads make me feel almost guility My absolute favorite scanned page is: http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/images/tvg0683...83/t0683p07.jpg I love it when they have a picture or a tv commericial and the game players are holding the joystick in a position that you couldn't possibly play the game with. Do you think they did that for aesthetics, maybe so the nice red button wouldn't be covered up by a thumb? If not, its funny to think there were a dozen or so people working on a photo shoot who never had played a video game. -O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectorGamer Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Interesting how the mag cover focuses on computers almost exclusively in September 1985... Here are the links to the Arcade of the 90s article, which is amusing: http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/images/t0784p16.jpg http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/images/t0784p17.jpg http://www.chris-hind.co.uk/images/t0784p18.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
