Yes, it is an odd one.  I have a few more issues than that, but no run.  I think that I was never a subscriber, just bought it occasionally.  For example, I clearly remember an issue with Gen. Schwartzkopf on the cover (I hope my memory is not playing tricks), and  I bought it for an article on wargames or military simulation.  I don’t remember the information as being especially valuable, but there weren’t that many magazines that focused on PC games at all.

It definitely is obscure.  I only have one issue of PC Games, and it is one my brother bought new in the late 1980s or so ('89 or '90 I think).  That is the only issue I have ever seen of that magazine anywhere.  In fact, I've never even seen someone mention it online until Frank did it on this mailing list. :)

Hi Jim, I meant PC Games. PC Gamer had pretty high circulation it seems, PC Games (from IDG, it was the PC sister mag to GamePro) is pretty obscure.

"PC Games" or "PC Gamer"?  I ask because I have a nearly complete run of PC Gamer from issue #2 to roughly 2001.  If ICHEG already has these, I could certainly donate them somewhere else...
