Classic Gamer PDF Magazine Hits Second Issue

Posted by simoniker on from the download-print-remember dept.

Skyler writes "The second issue of the recently revived, formerly paper-only Classic Gamer Magazine is now online as a freely downloadable PDF. The cover story for this issue discusses the history of James Bond videogames, but that's just the beginning, as this issue is chock full of gaming articles, reviews, classic ads, and much more." We previously covered Classic Gamer's debut PDF issue - the UK print magazine Retro Gamer is also worth seeking out if you enjoy this type of rampant gaming nostalgia.

      It was 30 lives, or REST as Contra put it.

      Back in my prime video game days, I used to able to beat Contra without dying once. If I died, it was always in one of the same two or three places. I wish I had the time to play games to death like I used to do back when I was younger.

      30 in Contra 1, 10 in Contra 2.

      Yes, but omit the Select if you were like me, playing 1-player because you had nobody to play with.
      Or reinsert the Select if you were coordinated enough to play with two controllers simultaneously...

    Ahhh....a Slashdot link to a 7.3 MB PDF document. This should be a wild ride on the Denial of Service express.

  3. I wish more mags'd do this by NanoGator · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Having moved twice in the last year, I've grown rather fond of the idea of having electronic magazines as opposed to paper versions. I used to be really against the idea of paying for unique organizations of electrons until I nearly broke my back throwing away all my issues of Maxim to lighten the load.

    PDAs are becoming more and more suited to this type of work. Sony has Palms now that run at 320 by 480. Sure beats the 240 by 320 I'm running on my PocketPC. Death to paper!

      In some instances, the unique organizations of hydrocarbon molecules is still preferred to the unique organization of sub-atomic particles. Though one can easily convert the information represented by those sub-atomic particles into an imperfect fascimile by outputting it onto hydrocarbon planes with the assistance of a jet or laser device.

  4. Freecache versions by nacturation · · Score: 3, Informative

    Save them some bandwidth:

    Volume 2, Issue 1
    Volume 2, Issue 2

    Both are over 5MB, so freecache is perfect for this.

    Almost every game features high res color graphics. I thought it was meant to be a retro game mag.
