The video game history foundation has just finished scanning every copy of the neopets magazine and added it to their archive. Super cool!

It might be a little silly, but Neopets Magazine is an important slice of a different part of gaming culture.

During its four-year run, Neopets Magazine covered the latest news and strategies for the influential 2000s-era web game. It also had a lot of articles about Neopets merchandise and trading cards. In fact, it’s mostly ads for Neopets products. Or long articles about Neopets lore. At best, it is mostly an off-topic magazine. So why did we focus on this magazine of our archive? Simple: it’s about the game’s audience. Neopets was, arguably, the defining girl game of the 2000s. An entire microgeneration of girls got their start in the world of digital entertainment by raising virtual pets and playing Flash games to get Neopoints. [...] Notably, many of the magazine’s articles are about creativity and customization. There’s shades in here of the gameplay styles that have become more popular in the last decade with the rise of cozy games and farming sims. My favorite quirk of Neopets Magazine is in the audience survey that came with some issues. In one survey question, they asked whether readers bought this magazine at a clothing store! That would have reached a completely different audience than we usually associate with game magazines. Can you imagine PC Gamer being sold at a Charlotte Russe? The point is that Neopets The Official Magazine represents a different slice of gaming culture, one that we know matters to researchers and to our extended community.

im like 30 and want to make an account on neopets. im not expecting anything except for fun. is that still ok? i know theres an older userbase active but i dont want to be like that one older freak among teens.

not laughing at you specifically anon but every time someone asks me about this i just have to giggle a little bit because this is their 2023 year in review:

and most of their marketing is nostalgiabait targeted towards millennials and older gen z. i promise you with all my heart and all my soul it is the exact opposite of weird to be 30 years old on neopets.
