Jazz mags don't count, sorry!

Inspired by the Borrow Box thread, which defunct magazines do you look back nostaligcally on from your younger days?

From the 70s/80s, we used to get these two delivered from Maude's in Normanby:

Football Handbook
Popular Computing Weekly

From the 80s/90s I used to buy these every month:

Select
Crash
Amiga Power (and occasionally Amiga Format)

From the 2000s I got these two delivered:

The Word
Q (when it was good)
(I used to get FourFourTwo as well, but that isn't defunct so not allowed here!)

Would agree with you about Q and The Word which were both excellent.

A very specific genre, but I loved Amiga Power back in the day, a very funny and entertaining read not to mention generally honest reviews.
 
I'd often enjoy flicking through Playstation World magazine at a friend's house in the late 90s. No place for it now in a world of YouTube streams, walkthroughs and reviews.

I think every other magazine I got as a kid is still going in some shape or form.
 
I subbed to NME and Melody Maker for years. I forget who the editor of NME was in 2000s but he ruined it - it ended up like Smash hits.

Good shouts. NME, Melody Maker and Sounds. I used to know more about what was going on with music and especially tour dates pre internet just by getting Sounds every week.
 
Many mentioned above I liked, the artwork on Crash was always excellent.

I liked that history magazine that came with little cardboard models/cassettes, called Discovery
 
Smash Hits

I had a massive pile of them dated from the mid to late 80s

Threw them away when I moved out of my parental home

I had a letter printed in one. Still got the badge and postcard they sent me from Black Type
 
Over the yrs the ones I bought were lookin mag, C+VG (computer and videos games mag ) and the sports gazette was decent yrs ago if you want to class that . Always good to get something free in the gazette as a kid
