You really need them as PDF? Otherwise it's surprising how many are available online. I don't know much about the console mags & C64 mags because I was a Speccy / Amiga owner, but I know many mags are archived online by enthusiasts (often WITH covertapes, posters, silly 3D pullouts etc).
I never had Usenet in my youth. I had Fidonet keeping me off the streets and out of the sun. I wish they could pull 20 years of all Fidonet postings out of a hat but those babies are gone.
To look over my immature rantings would be bliss. Maybe some of my insights I could publish as a coffee table book and make money there, but instead I'll have to trawl this new usenet archive looking for anything I can sell to the tabloids.
The game was popular from being sold for next to nothing in every computer store around the continent
I didn't buy it for next to nothing in a computer store. No, young gullible idiot here paid £10 UK for the shareware episode in the local computer emporium.
...and people wonder why I turned to crime to feed my gaming habit.
I really thing the guy was talking about setting up a shell account. Which I'd challenge your grandmother to try. I personally lost hair to the procedure.
