I've been getting PCF since WAAAAAY back! I still remember, the one christmas mag had that dungeon keeper guy with tinsel around his horns and a nice shiney ball off the tip! Oh yes, and the PCF web site was just a pic of what the current mag looked like, nothing else!

Though back then, there were game pics on the PCF, now there's women, so u know it was loooooooooong ago! It's probably pretty close to the begining!

I missed one PCF edition, through my years of collecting it... August 2003 (think that would be issue 77?). Does anyone have a spare copy (with coverdisc) they'd be willing to part with? I believe the coverdisc came with America's Army on it?

It must be in good condition.

Been reading PCF since the late 90's, either 98 or 99 (in fact I was just reading through a 2000 issue and it was absolutely excellent!). Then after the ed changed it started going down hill, personal opinion! So now I mostly read NAG, PC Gamer or occasionally the UK PCF.

The oldest record of PCF that I still have is the June '98 CD. That's the SA CD 5.

Remember Mars? Oh, the good old days... Not that I have anything against the new ed of course! He's one of the better things that's happened to PCF in the last couple of years!

Read uk pcf when i was but a wee lad and lived in england, moved to SA and immediately started reading the SA version which was (and still is) just as professional.

Don't subscribe as it kept getting stolen out my postbox :(

You guys looking for back issues, i'm sure if you pm Cameron he will be able to give you an address of someone at pcf who's in charge of that sorta thing.
