Lucasarts Adventurer

Lucasarts used to publish a magazine called "The Adventurer", which you could subscibe to for free. As the name suggests this magazine was about the adventure games Lucasarts used to make.

Does any one know if old issues of The Adventurer are available online? www.lucasarts.com used to have them but i can´t find them there anymore.

I bought Full Throttle and Fate of Atlantis off eBay at different times. They both came with an issue of The Adventurer. At the time I just briefly thumbed through them thinking they were only a catalogue of merchandise. I didn't realize they had a Sam&Max comic in them as well.

The weird thing is both games have the Winter 94/95 (#9) issue.

As Mel said, when in doubt, there's only one place to go!

I got all of mine from eBay, they come up quite often so it shouldn't take too long to get a fair amount together.
There is a few PDF scans here

I got all of mine in the LucasArts boxes

. I've been quite lucky with my Ebay purchases. I even got a free hint guide with Full Throttle.

When i bought Secret of Monkey Island waaay back in 1991 i got the first issue of The Adventurer included in the box. Along with the magazine there was a note that offered a free subscription to The Adventurere. All you had to do was to write your name and adress and send it to Lucasarts.

Did i get any issues of the magazine in the mail? No, i guess you had to be an american citizen or something.

Ah, eBay! I guess you can find everything there.

I gotta check out those auctions. Thanks for the link.
