    PC Zone - All issues online :)

    Some diligent fellow has scanned every PC Zone issue ever put to print and uploaded online. As a massive PC Zone fan and long time subscriber I've been looking back at some of issues for a massive nostalgia trip. Can't help but feel old when looking back at these, and the golden days of late 90s/early 00s PC gaming - Counterstrike, Quake, Command & Conquer, Freespace 2, Unreal Tournament, Call of Duty 1, Medal of Honour. LAN parties with friends. Where my worries went as far as what job I would do when I grew up, and all the time in the world to do whatever I wanted.

    If you want to have a look back you can find them all here:

    Gutted I went through a phase of throwing out all my old mags. Now they're worth a little especially the Nintendo ones

    Pretty sure I still have a pile of PC Zone magazines in the parent's loft, along with the original cover DVD / CD, need to go and have a look one day

    Nov 1999 for the Homeworld review
    Dec 2004 for the Half-life 2 review

    I had a brief period of similar nostalgia when I found all the Your Sinclair mags online... including the issue where they published one of my letters to them!

    Don't forget the infamous Lara Crofts Cruelty Zoo feature. Penned by some bloke called Charlie Brooker, wonder what happened to him.

    I vaugely remember the article where they had a model dressed as a nun testing joysticks for "phallicticity" lol

    Apparently they also had some Doom levels (1000) on a CD once and didn't test all the levels, not realising one of them contained some hardcore pornographic textures....
