I do it for love and memories! I reminds me of the decades I lived in! It is like music during those times and movies that stays with you. As we all get older there is nostalgia and I will bet top dollar that all of us have cherished memory of reading some magazine here. The love of games is with us that are into this line of entertainment. My example is (please don't laugh) Drinking Crystal Clear pepsi (yes I liked it) with Van Halen, Red hot Chilli peppers wearing snow washed jeans.
Bought my first Die hard game fan, saw Batman Returns and Bram Stoker's Dracula playing Sonic 2, Taz Mania, lastly Mortal Kombat came home! If you can figure out what year that is your good! I could go on forever about the subject and come up with so many emotions that I felt getting an awesome game from what I read in the monthly's! Sorry if it sounds like gibberish but I do it for love and memories!
