PBM mention: Computer Gaming World From: "John Pritchard" <johnpritchardhsd009@earthlink.net> Date: Sat, 11 May 2002 14:56:52 +0000 Anyone seen the new issue of Computer Gaming World, the one with Star Wars Galaxies featured on the cover? In each issue, they have a column that features a highlight from past issues of the magazine: 5, 10, and 15 years ago. The blurb about the issue from 1987 reads: "Ads for two magazines spotlighted the growing pains of gaming. On page 12 was a full-page ad for 'Run 5', a 'unique computer gaming magazine' that shipped each quarterly issue with a floppy containing new game scenarios, notes, and design kits. This would be the future. The past? Turn to Page 5 for the tiny ad for 'Paper Mayhem', 'The Informative PBM Magazine.' They'd been in business since 1983. They wouldn't be for much longer." Now my PBM activities have greatly waned, but I thought Paper Mayhem did have a long run, much longer than 1987. Oh well, hope some of you find it interesting. Can't speak for Europe, but in America that's probably the closest thing PBM has gotten to mainstream attention in a long time. Referenced By Up
