Welcome to the WikiProject Video games Magazine Archive in magazines and other publications. It is designed to help editors find sources for previews, development history, critical reviews, or other information in published material. The Magazines project especially aims to help editors with articles concerning old games, released before the full advent of the internet for game coverage.
[edit] Instructions for users
To find appropriate sources for a game, please search for it using your browser's search function on this page. If you find a relevant match, then check on the right to see which project members have a copy. Contact that user on his or her talk page and hopefully they will be able to send you the appropriate information.
[edit] Instructions for contributors
If you wish to contribute to the project, please add your personal archives to those below and follow the general table format. The archive is arranged alphabetically by magazine name and then by issue number, if the magazine you wish to archive is already present then just add your issues to the table. Otherwise create a new table in the archive with the title of the magazine, the archive. Remember to add your username into the contact field for issues you own. Please be thorough when checking magazines, and be sure to wikify game titles.
