EGM. A neighbor had a GMR sub so we occasionally traded.

I also bought a lot of Play Station Monthly for the demo discs

Nintendo Power was the main one I got. I got it until the very end.

Otherwise I'd get EGM sometimes.

My parents let me and my two brothers each pick a video game magazine.

Nintendo Power. I got a subscription when I ordered the Wind Waker bundle and just never unsubscribed.

gameinformer fucking sucked so hard

GI read like it was written by people who didn't even like video games
also had this odd condescension to it

90s had the edginess, but the 00s had the cynicism. It was the Seanbaby-style era, for better or worse.

come to think of it I'm pretty sure the only reason we subscribed to GI was because Gamestop shilled for them pretty damn hard back in the early 00s

It's Gamestop's last real carry-over from the glory of Funcoland.
It's not even a bad magazine, even after the quality dropping hard from the staff purge last year or so.

Yeah, I had Game Informer solely because of Gamestop. I don't know anyone who willfully subscribed to them outside of that.

Vintagestock is the closest we have now, but it's better for old DVDs and LPs than games.

Didn't EGM have a designated reviewer for obviously bad games? That was ahead of its time.

We didn't have Funcoland, we had Babbage's. But it's my understanding that the similarities were sorta like Hardees and Carl's Jr.

Nintendo Power, EGM, Game Players, Gamepro (sadly), Game Informer

My favorite was mid 90s Game Players. I fondly remember the Shining Force mini strategy guide in one of the issues.

Babbages was a PC shop that incidentally sold console games. Funcoland was mostly just a used game store.

I never subscribed to any, but I remember buying (in the UK) Official PlayStation Magazine, NGC, and PLAY.
