So anyone get the magazine just for these. I loved the idea of these just watched a you tube vid on these and one that I wish I owned was the classic game collection one it had a bunch of full games on it two being monkey island another being duke nuke em 2. Anyone remember getting this one and what were your thoughts on it

There's a full version of Duke Nukem II on the Duke 3D disc which is an easy way to get that game.

Sadly, at the time these magazines were most popular (mid-1990s), my PC did not have a CD ROM, and there was no free drive bay for me to add one.

 

A few titles included a floppy disk, but I do not recall any especially memorable games.

Magazines like Antic & ST Format were the only way I could get any software for my Atari computers w/o going through mail order companies in the pre-Internet days.

 

Even PC Gamer was my source for trying out games via demos since downloading them over dial-up wasn't feasable.

Just the idea of getting a disk with a bunch of full games on it basically for free just blows my mind. Demos and shareware is one thing but a disk with the full games on it plus from different developers as well is unheard of
