Shownotes Transcript

We're firing up the time machine again this week for another visit to the era when computer coverage was "printed" on "paper" in bound volumes called "magazines." This time, we take a look at the voluminous December 2000 issue of PC Gamer, with a look at the early MMO boom brought on by Ultima Online and EverQuest, a preview of EA's weird social game Majestic, reviews of Voyager: Elite Force, Metal Gear Solid for Windows, and the Geforce 2 Ultra, and a bunch more!

Here's the browsable version of the issue we discussed, along with quite a few other old PC Gamer issues: https://archive.org/details/UneditedPCGamer_marktrade/PC_Gamer_079u/mode/2up)
