VGHF offers a magazine subscription where they'll send out a random vintage issue each month to offload their collection of dupes. Thought it was a cool way to relive the past while supporting video game archival work.

No, they are just magazines!

Booo (presuming they came with one)

I would opt out if it were available. I like magazines, but I don’t find old optical media useful at all.

I still have working consoles so for me they could be fun

I could potentially see them doing this if they get a lot of those, but they might not. People kept magazines, but a lot of people didn’t keep the discs with them.

The foundation also has a few dozen demo discs cataloged, with mirrors at archive.org if you want to burn some!
