Computer Gaming World Magazine have put up 100 issues of their magazine for download, heres the info:

Welcome to the official online archive of Computer Gaming World magazine, where you can read and download digitized versions* of the first 100 issues of the magazine, beginning with the first issue in November 1981, and then see covers of all the rest of the magazine's run through the final issue in November 2006.

Founded in 1981 by Russell Sipe, Computer Gaming World began life as a small, self-published, independent magazine for the then small community of computer game hobbyists (it was, in fact, the first magazine dedicated to the hobby), but grew over the years into one of the most important and powerful media voices in all of digital entertainment, thanks to its strong editorial voice and reputation for tough but fair reviews.

From its earliest days, covering games for the Atari and Apple II systems, through the recent era of blockbuster titles for high-end PCs, CGW has always been known for the expertise, passion, and talent of its editorial staff, from Johnny Wilson to Scorpia to Loyd Case and more, and this archive is dedicated to them. Have fun, and don't forget to save!

For gaming fans this is a must visit, for youngsters this is a great place to catch up on the great games of yesteryear, check the lot out here --> http://cgw.filefront.com/

A CGW archive! What a damn fine idea. All you younger folks should check out an early issue or 2 to see what gaming was like in the beginning. Believe it or not, it was just as exciting then as it is now...: )

Great link! I actually own a lot of the older CGW issues but it's nice to have them as PDF. The index is handy as well. I wonder if they'll eventually make anything past 100 available. That would be even awesomer.

I would like to see some more of the other classic gaming magazines do this as well. Publishing them online lets everyone re-read them and could possibly breath some life into some old games (or mags).
