      When I used to run a book store in the 80s, two magazines were the largest (and 99% ads): bridal magazines and Computer Shopper.

        Yeah, I would barely call Computer Shopper a magazine.

        The one I’m surprised they didn’t have a photo of was Byte. Especially considering the website is called Byte Cellar.

    As a European, I grew up with PC Zone and PC Gamer (both from the UK). Just looked them up and I see PC Gamer is still running and has a US edition too.

    Did anyone else grow up with Enter magazine as a kid? I couldn’t even imagine a kids’ magazine today that included huge reams of code for you to copy over line by line and hope it all worked 2 hours later when you were done. But somehow it was worth it.
