Title: PC Gamer coverdisks
Post by: Cez on Aug 21, 2023, 07:45 AM
Hi all,

I am getting rid of PC Gamer coverdisks. Big lot of them dating back to near the start right up to the DVD years when they stopped. Anyone in the Southeast of UK interested? Is there anyway to store them digitally? any interest in that admittedly big job? Happy to be put in touch with someone who would value them.

Cheers

Cez

Check out IA's collection of PC Gamer coverdisks here (https://archive.org/details/pcgamer-cdroms).

They have a big swag of UK/USA discs by the look of it so digital imaging of lots of yours may already have been done. I had a complete collection of Amiga Format discs I was going to backup until I found them there so just threw them in the trash.

Hey I am in London and would be interested in any that are not available on IA, I have been uploading some of my own to IA recently to patch in their gaps. Would be good to know which numbers you have  ;D

Definitely interested in getting a complete set up and running somewhere so will go through them and list them here. Might take me to the weekend to do though...

Hey Kiwi - just realised I havent got Amiga Format coverdisks covered - Are they spread all over IA or is there a osingle hit with all of them somewhere?

All over. Go to the site and do a search and you will get a pile of floppy disks and CD disc results. There are a couple of pages from memory that have several CD's listed.

They're also part of the Redump project under "Commodore - Amiga CD" so you can find them here:
