I always wanted the monthly ones as a subscription, but I had a handful of them and some of the full game strategy guides. I used to flip through the Super Mario world one a lot to the point that the pages all fell out lol.

My dad would buy me PC gamer issues for the demo discs though once I had a computer. I still remember getting Half-Life 1 campaign mods from those discs.

I had a friend who was this but for PSX demo discs. He had an empty CD-R package that he'd store them all in lol. Same friend also ended up with a Dreamcast and a million bootlegs for it.
