RickR Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 As many of you know (because I can't stop blah-blah-blah'ing about it), I've been selling off old magazines lately. Well, I'm now in my Mad and Cracked magazine stashes, and LOOK at what I found. I think these two perfectly reminded me of retro gaming fun! Well, the stack of Cracked will be for sale first, and very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 How awesome to see retro Cracked and Mad Magazines! I used to love these! It's awesome to see some from the early 1980s with video game themes on the cover. Thanks for sharing this Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickR Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 I didn't even look inside, but there are so many cool covers. Star Wars, Saturday Night Fever, Mork and Mindy, Diff'rent Strokes, Close Encounters, Star Blech, etc. etc. This stuff is gold. Do I really want to sell these?

Atari Adventure Square Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Those VG special mags were confirmation that the passion for arcade life was seeping into pop culture and was here to stay. While clearing out the family house, I found my old "I'm a Vidiot" kid-sized t-shirt, made from that Cracked iron-on. I still am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickR Posted July 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Downsizing. I've been selling off all my old magazines. I'm most likely going to keep the MAD magazines, but Cracked will all be for sale. My 5200 collection is now gone. Are you looking to buy anything?
