Question PC Gamer Vol 1 Issue 1

[ueapirates70]

Hi All,

I am not sure if this is the best place, but I couldn't see anywhere more suitable, so apologies if it should be somewhere else....

OK, so going through the boxes in my loft I stumbled upon Volume 1 Issue 1 of PC Gamer (complete with the 3.5" cover disks, although I can't test them as I don't have a PC with a floppy drive any longer). I had a look on ebay to gauge value, but I couldn't see it, even in sold items - although I am not convinced I did that search correctly.

So I thought I would come to the community to ask, does this magazine have any value? I note a few volume 1 issues sold at the £25 mark or so (issue #6 I think), so I was thinking something just above that might be right for issue 1?

And while I am here, is there any interest in it?

Thanks,

Matt.

Oh wow! Not sure one sec...

Do you have pics?

OK, so hopefully I have done this right, I have shared it in my google pics... I could work out how to upload to the forum.

Spoke to the team, they've see old issues listed for around £20-30 (no idea if people are buying) we have issue one though

Thanks for checking....

Just trying to decide whether to drop it on eBay or reseal the box for another 20 years.

Apparently having the insert disks is more rare!

Thanks for the info, I appreciate you taking the time 😀

Oh it's no problem - I love stuff like this - I'm actually on one of the CD Roms from around 2007 - never seen it in the wild

Hold on to them if you've got the space. I had boxes & boxes of older issues of PCG, Computer Gaming World, and Computer Games Strategy Plus, but to save space in my small apartment, I ended up taking them all to the Salvation Army store several years ago. I still regret that.

I don't actually have the one im on with the disk, which I'm sad about!

As someone who has issue 1 of Gamepro, congrats! I'd keep it, maybe get a comic book sleeve and put it in there as its a neat little artifact imo and display it maybe? Cool to see nonetheless.
