Looking for an issue of an old magazine

>>3943558
I tried and came up with nothing other than the reddit post you got that image from. I'm fairly certain this was a magazine that was only a one shot or didn't last longer than a year because I can find no mention of it on the web. Keep in mind that early 2000's was a nebulous time for gaming magazines, new ones were popping up every fucking month. This very well could have been the only issue of Pocket Gamer.

Have you tried contacting aeropotato and seeing if he has that magazine in his possession?

>>3943583
I found one or two few covers of other issues on a retro magazine site, but what little I could find that you are right about it being short lived. It looks like aeropotato is still active so I could give that a shot. A bit strange, but I'm already going this far on a whim, so why not.

If you get scans or a copy of that issue and there's more pics of that woman on that cover I urge you to post them on this board.

Also, what retro magazine site? I literally couldn't find anything, granted I only searched for like 20 minutes.

https://www.retromags.com/magazines/usa/pocket-games/ looks like I was wrong. It just has a similar name.

If you want to keep searching then I'd suggest looking into "hard core gaming guides" because they wrote the magazine it seems. From them I've found two pokemon guides called "100% unofficial pokemon trainers guide" and a guide for tekken 3.

I might actually have this. I'll check in about an hour

Oh and Imagine Media is a good lead as well. They published other magazines by the look of it.

I should probably post less and put more into each post but whatever, probably my last post.

The company that published that magazine at the time, Imagine Media, is now known as Future US. They're the genuises behind techradar, pc gamer, and a few other shit websites.

I had no luck. Then again, I somehow missed those ebay links, and did not realize they owned techradar, etc.

IIRC there's a cover with a really badly drawn Solid Snake on it, assuming this is a US magazine. I saw a few issues but never picked it up. Magazine publishers would often do one off issues or a limited run to test the market.

search for the top left corner maybe

hardcore gaming guides presents

The text next to the bar code reads
>Please display until August 9th, 2000
So that gives us a pretty specific time frame.

>>3943657
>assuming this is a US magazine
The bar code shows prices for US and Canada and there's no French in sight, so chances are it is a US magazine.

>>3943679
Definitely Sold in the US, I had a copy as a kid that is long gone.

Someone else said that imagine media is now future US, which is US based. So this being US based seems correct.

I wonder if contacting Future US to find if they have archives would yield any results.

It was a good idea, so I tried it. The magazine is old enough that their online subscription would not have it or something.

>>3943558
I remember seeing this on the stand, but I don't know where you'd find it now.

>>3943839
Figured I'd give it a shot, can't lose anything but more time than I planned.

bump because why not.

There was a great rabbit stew recipe in this mag.

Also, it convinced me to buy a Neogeo Pocket Color.

I literally never saw a girl playing a GB or GBC in my entire childhood.

>>3946928
Allow me to interject. What you're referring to as "mag" is actually mag + zine or as I like to call it "Magazine"

>>3946928
They shit all over the poor thing one issue after.
Fuck these cunts.

I also like to call Playstation a PSX

Wasn't this the guide that claimed that Umbreon's japanese name was YanYan?

I had this and carried it with me everywhere when it came out.
