Disney's Wonderful World of Knowledge #03 has been scanned and added to the download area. Not sure where this came from to be honest as I have no others of this set. Some book fair maybe?  :-\

Thank you very much for the uploads. I love that cover of The Warriors. Never had a chance to play it unfortunately but I heard Rockstar did a solid job on it.

There was a magazine called Play in the USA which is why it is primarily called Play (UK) here. Files on the seedbox are nested together rather than via system etc so differentiation is required.

Thanks kitsunebi-san for clarifying and sharing the info of magazinesfromthepast.com - wasn't aware of this. Since 1998 was the beginning phase of the first PlayStation, it might explain why there were apparently more than the "usual" 12 monthly mags for this (and the following) year as there were simply more news to cover.

@theassasnin: it is called "Play UK" over at Retromags, not sure why they explicitly added the UK for this mag (I don't think there was a similar publication from a different country). Anyway, that's why I mentioned the name this way. Issue 30 was by the way the last issue of PLAY where they listed the month in the editorial...

OK then ... Overall I guess unless someone proves different, we have to assume that the ordering as mentioned in magazinesfromthepast.com is accurate.

Thanks for your input!

It was just called Play, not "Play UK" (never heard anyone else call it that). And to answer your question, issue numbers were always printed on the magazine but they did NOT always have coverdates. So people online are probably filling in coverdates to some scans/databases purely from guesswork and/or coverdates on other issues.
