From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
PC Zone was the first UK PC games magazine, and would compete with PC Gamer Charlie Brooker , David McCandless , and Rhianna Pratchett . Originally published by Dennis Publishing in 1993, it was sold to Future Publishing in 2004, who would close it down in 2010. Many, but not all issues are available on the Internet Archive .
While active, they were very good at updating their website, but earlier iterations are difficult if not impossible navigate through Internet Archive . This 2006 capture of Future Publishing's C&VG portal includes many PC Zone reviews.
The issues hahnchen has are likely to be in storage, and so any requests may take several weeks.
