Wayback Wednesday: The Adventurer
Yesterday I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of Monkey Island 2 for the ol' IBM PC in pretty decent condition, which contained all its original contents, including the Lucasarts Company Newsletter: The Adventurer. There are forum threads where people have enshrined these magazines (newspapers, really) but have you seen what's inside? For this week's Wayback Wednesday I present you with a heaping helping of nostalgia with scans of every page of The Adventurer issue 3. Marvel at the artistic prowess of "Adobe Systems' Photoshop"! Be astounded at the new technology called "scanning" (which is like a copier, but instead of copying to paper it copies to your computer!) Stare with awe at the company store, which sold tan fanny packs bearing the Indiana Jones name! Enjoy the hilariously funny Sam and Max comic, written and drawn by Steve Purcell, exclusive to The Adventurer!
I am sure many of you read these cover to cover back in the day. Full scans after the jump (they are large! Click to zoom!)
I have very fond memories of spending the night at my friend Mark's house in middle school, staying up all night playing on his PC (he was the only one of our group that had Windows 95), obsessing over games like Warcraft II and The Dig. I played The Dig all the way through in one sitting, and from what I can remember it was a masterpiece.
