Well, not this specific subject, my Youtube channel is about classic gaming / Computing but I try to cover different subjects. Also I try to do things that hasn't been already done or done as often, meaning if I look at a game it's not going to be another SONIC or MARIO, there are enough people covering the fanboy topics. I may not always post here either so if this video has caught your attention please check out my channel and I will let my videos speak for themselves. This video was my 99th video so you are sure to find things you like.

I do unboxing videos, look at classic games, consoles, computers and do what a lot in the Youtube gaming community do but as I said I try to cover different topics that have not been covered a million times over, response has been strong with over 500 subscribers and I would say 99.5% POSITIVE responses and comments and lastly I have no "gimmicks" I am not trying to be the AVGN or Irrate Gamer, it's just me being me, honest and my personal take on things.

Added you to the PPG account since I don't remember my personal Youtube account info (I had some weird name and no longer have the e-mail address connected to it).

Definitely going to watch more vids (I caught the Gamefan vid on Armchair Arcade).

That was a very interesting video. I never had Gamefan, but would love check some old issues out. Is that particular issue worth any money? What month/year was it again?

Sept and Oct '95. As to worth money, not likely unless someone thought it worth collecting.........

On ebay, most issues of Gamefan at about #13 up go for at least $15 before shipping. #1 is about $150, #2 is about $125, #3 is about $75 and they go down from there to about $30 for #10 (I haven't seen #11 and #12 on ebay lately but figure they are close to #10 in cost. I have #5 up (#3 is scanned but is too low quality to release on OoPA and I sold that issue when in need of money).

Hope that helps.

Moved this to the Gaming Literature section, hope you don't mind!
