If you are like me and grew up with gaming magazines in your hands, then this post might make your day. RetroMags.com have scanned and released the first official issue of EGM and a PDF and have made it available for download:

Sadly, they use Rapidshare to distribute the file and they have some intense CAPTCHA in place, but the download is worth it. I might not speak for everyone, but I find it extremely nostalgic going back through old gaming magazines, and this one in particular is no exception.
What I find humorous, is that it doesn't even look like the editors could use stock screenshots... each image looks kind of like it was taken as a photo. Each one bows a little bit, and looks like an old tube TV. Good stuff.
