This is the start of my GamesMaster magazine collection thread. I have previously posted my collection here in a similar thread, so if this is considered a duplicate then i'll remove it. This thread will be in chronological order, and each issue featured is as complete as the day it hit the newsagent shelf. There's not a lot of traffic on this site nowadays so if anyone does see this, hope you find it interesting!

Issue 1, January 1993.

This issue came with:

The Winner's Handbook, 94 pages featuring over 250 hints, tips and cheats for NES, SNES, Game Boy, Master System, Mega Drive, Game Gear, PC Engine and Amiga.

3 sheets of GamesMaster stickers

Double sided poster/1993 calendar featuring Desert Strike and Gunship 2000.

This issue came with an extra half-cover for the front and back which is still attached.

The Winner's Handbook and 3 sheets of stickers are still in their sealed packet, i have another 3 sheets of stickers and another copy of The Winner's Handbook which i have photographed here.

The Winner's Handbook.

Desert Strike / Gunship 2000 poster.

Issue 2, February 1993.

This issue came with:

GamesMaster 3D glasses.

The Chaos Engine / 3D poster.

The 3D poster features screenshots of Starfighter Ace, which was previewed in this issue, and was also featured on an episode of series 2 (presumably the episode aired around the time this issue was available in newsagents).

Issue 3, March 1993.

This issue came with:

4 Street Fighter II postcards.

There were 2 sets:

1 set featuring Ken, Ryu, E Honda and Guile.
1 set featuring Chun Li, Blanka, Zangief and Dhalsim.

I am lucky enough to have both sets (a big thank you to 'you know who' for helping me).

The postcards.

The second set of postcards (for some reason seem to be harder to find than the other 4).
