That is post-crash stuff you likely have.  The stuff I have somewhere is pre-crash.  I also have Atari 8bit computer magazines, such as Analog and Antic Magazine.  I believe Atari Age also lives on now as a website.

Some of them I recall, which I may have some still somewhere would be (Based on this site http://www.retromags.com/magazines#.Uiu_N8aTiSo):

Computer Gaming World

Electronic Fun

Electronic Games

 

And now, I am motivated to go hunt down the magazine wherever they are.

Yeah, everything I had was post-crash. I was born in 1984 and didn't begin playing video games until at least 1987-1989, beginning with the 2600 and then moving onto the NES and becoming absolutely obsessed with Zelda, which continues today. Played every single game, except for Wind Waker, which I am happy about actually since it has been remade. I was young and dumb. I looked at the graphics and thought it was "kiddy and terrible." Now I am 29 and I think the style looks so awesome.

Thanks for the link. I am going to check it out. I am trying to learn a bit about things from before my time or during my time that I was too young to understand and appreciate. Just downloaded a ton on Infocom games on my iPhone. Nice collection of text styled games from way back like Zork, The Lurking Horror, etc... Nice collection called "The Lost Treasure of Infocom", released by Activision. You get every single title (Around 12-15 I believe) for just $10.

 

If I recall correctly, Electronic Fun had a computer game program in every issue people could enter in.  Ahh, those where the days.  And I did think Wind Waker looked real good back when it came out.  It reminded me of an animated movie.
