Angus McBride's 1966 "Legendary Beasts" series ran in the backs of the weekly magazine Finding Out. Daisy at Beautiful Books has collected all 36 of them over here - this is just half of them!

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.

One day, long, long ago, the (Adj.)_______________ faerie, Illusen, was out on a stroll when she happened upon the (Adj.)_______________ faerie, Jhudora, (-ing Verb)_______________ by herself on a red and white checkered blanket. They didn't know each other well, so Illusen decided to say (A Greeting)_______________ to her. However, Jhudora did not seem to expect this and dropped her (Noun)_______________ in shock. Illusen went to pick it up, and they accidentally bumped (Noun)_______________(s) as Jhudora too, reached for it. They (-ed Verb)_______________ together, and Jhudora asked Illusen to join her. They sat under a giant (Plant)_______________ and looked out at all the (Noun)_______________(s) passing by. Jhudora offered Illusen a/an (Food Item)_______________, and as they ate, they talked about (Noun)_______________(s) and (Noun)_______________(s). Eventually, the sun began to set, and they parted ways. Illusen was so happy to have made such a/an (Adj.)_______________ friend. Surely, nothing would go (-ly Adverb)_______________ wrong.
