Does anyone have any old issues of PC Zone?

I'm specifically after one issue. I can't remember if it was February 96 or 97, but it had Resident Evil on the cover. Does anyone have this issue in the loft or something? I would very much like to buy it! Or at the very least I'd like confirmation of the issue number and date!

The internets aren't particularly helpful. Ive looked.

(If anyone is interested, PC Zone was my favourite mag ever and this issue was the first one I ever bought. Of course I chucked my pile out many years ago during a clear out.)

PC Gamer was my favourite mag ever and I'm about to chuck my pile of them out. Except the second ever issue, mind you, I'm holding onto that.

I probably have this in one of the many boxes I'm supposed to have cleared out. Let me have a rummage and I'll get back to you

edit: First box I checked - Feb 1997, issue 47

Well I've tried rotating the image, but it still comes out sideways. :-\
Bonus features include loads of reviews from people that wrote for pc zone when it used to be good, Mr Cursor, and a double page special reserve advert.

Hoho! Their double page adverts in the various old mags I've been sorting through are hilarious. How exciting all those games seemed back then, and at such high prices!

Their shops were a disappointment, though. I'm not sure what I was expecting (perhaps something as epic as Silica in Debenhams on Oxford Street) but after the bewilderingly vast selection in the ads, the shop itself was... meh.

That's the one Joans! Top work mate! Feb 97! My memory is awesome... Sort of! You interested in selling it?

It's just sat in a box at the moment, so I may as well (but I reserve the right to read all the funny bits again first). Let me work out how much it's going to cost me to post and make sure it's not worth a million pounds on ebay and I'm sure we'll be able to come to some sort of arrangement. You (or anybody else) wouldn't happen to want loads of other issues as well would you?

If WTB comes to the BB2, you can just hand it to him.

Heh! If! As for the other issues, I dunno! I'd like them, but I'd probably get told off for bringing more "junk" into the house. What issues have you got?

He could just put them in a box, then you could take them home and look through them at your leisure.
