Retro -journal nostalgia

The other day he bought himself the fourth curling and, checking new games, and understanding the capabilities of the consol, somehow unnoticed for himself, rolled into the memories of the very first Sonya, acquired back in 2001.
It was a chipped psone, for which I had to go already on a hump. It was also lucky that the games were sold then almost at every step, in any case, there were exactly five points next to my metro.

So, becoming the happy owner of the first console from Sony, there was a need to somehow find out about her news. What games come out, well, all that. The Internet was then tight, and no one shot the program “Sonya New Reality”. There was only one way out – magazines. Naturally, my choice fell on a magazine with a very relevant name at that time Official PlayStation Magazine Russia (hereinafter referred to as Orm).

Before that, I was not too fond of magazines, I had a couple of numbers of the Great Dragon, but this magazine did not hook me. Unlike OPM. At that time, he seemed to me just an ideal source of information, because there was everything that an ordinary gamer needed: news, reviews, previews, passing, codes, and, of course, lists of games and their salsa slaves. Even his own comic was about a dude frozen in a cryocammer with the first Sonya in an embrace that a scientific expedition of the future finds))

There I had my favorite authors, https://nogamstop-casinos.co.uk/review/slottio/ the articles from which I was looking forward to. It was from Orm that I learned about the existence of an event such as E3. I remember, I was still very surprised then – it turns out that there are specialized exhibitions for video games, about how!)) I first saw the PlayStation 2, and the very first games for her. Yes, this magazine gave me a lot ..

Separately delivered letters of readers. I still remember the touching letter of the girl who fell in love with the villain from the game Vagrant Story, over whom I had grown over at one time. As it turned out years later, I was not the only one, for some of my friends and acquaintances were also remembered by this remarkable episode.

Since I did not have the opportunity to take the prefix to the cottage (due to the lack of a normal TV there), I took all the orm magazines that I had accumulated from me, where I read it to holes instead of reading what they set for the summer at school. Well, the textual passage of the second lunar, or the ninth ending, will be all sort of more interesting to some “raised virgin”)))

I read ORM for a year and a half, until it closed in 2002. These fifteen magazines are still in my closet. After the release of the last issue in August 2002, I felt an acute need for the continuation of the banquet. For a few months I tried almost all game magazines that were on sale at that time and stopped at the Country of Games, because it was there that some of the authors of the ORM. He sat on SI with a kind until 2007, until it became not only too expensive, but also indecently thin and very boring.

In general, it seems like an Official PlayStation 2 Magazine Russia even published, but I missed it, because I did not want my warm memories of the good old Orm to be swept away by a seething stream of dull shit. Although … in fact, I was already tightly hooked on Si and bought two magazines to the toad strangled, especially since I did not have a second Sonya – by that time I already came across a harsh baker))

Why did I even write it here. After ORM, not a single publication gave me so many positive emotions, a feeling of comfort, anticipation of new favorite rubrics from their favorite authors in a fresh issue. Even Si always seemed to me cheap Chinese cord -resistant to the rescue, and I bought it for quite a long time more out of habit. Yes, it was … until I came across Stopgame. This site reminded me of a long -forgotten sensations, and now I am waiting for no less anticipation of new streams, stories of series, digers and reviews from beloved authors. Here, something like that ..

It is strange that no one appreciated this blog at the time of writing, it is well written. Official PlayStation Magazine I remember, I also read, I learned about the Resident Evil, I watched some passage, it seems to Syphon Filter and Silent Hill, it’s a pity that it was difficult to get it (or I just did not know where), my friend’s brother from Russia brought a couple of numbers.
And Vagrant Story, despite the strange -looking Sydney, is a great game, is still one of the loved ones.
