Selling these two magazines for a buddy don't know the prices on the Russian steels, both have the "Oval 27" stamp as well as diamond "CB" stamp.

I was offered the opportunity to test an adapter for a review. Before I go through the trouble of borrowing some magazines, I wanted to gauge the interest. Obviously, if it's not on anyone's wish list, it doesn't make sense for me to burn up ammo testing it.
was wondering if you could see the stalker pc gamer magazine online anywhere, I’d buy it but I don’t have any money right now.
PC(s):
Strategy:

Kings and Emporer you would expect of that time:

It was on a computer bild spiele dvd :
EDIT: im a fucking edit for replacing the questions with the answers lmfao'
EDITEDIT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjER-DA3I-c fucking found it, and they are just releasing a sequel what are the odds lol
Platform(s): I played it on PC, either Windows 98 or ME
Genre: Fantasy Action-Adventure/RPG
Estimated year of release: I played it somewhere between 1999-2006 but it could have been older. I also think I found a more updated version of the game sometime after 2010 and because of that I think it might have been still in development over this whole period.
Graphics/art style: It was 3D or fake 3D with an angled top-down view (my mind says 3D). The levels, or at least one of the levels looked like most dungeons from A Link To The Past (like this but in 3D) with the walls being at an angle. The player characters looked chibi-like. I don't remember the enemies but think they were mostly generic fantasy enemies.
Addendum: The art style was very cartoonish and simple.
Notable characters: At the start of the game you could choose from multiple different classes/characters. It had the classics like knights, wizards and archers but also some weird ones like tourist, cook or archaeologist.
Notable gameplay mechanics: When you started the game, you had to choose a level (or campaign/level pack, I'm not sure) and a class. After that you would start in the level without much explanation.
I remember only very little about how it was played, I never got very far (possibly because I did not know the language it was in). I don't think it was like an JRPG with random encounter but I cannot 100% that it wasn't. I think it was played similarly to the aformentioned A Link To The Past. I'm quite sure you had to collect colored keys to open colored doors. There were also traps and some levels had lava or similar obstacles that you need to avoid/traverse.
Other details: I don't remember in what language the game was but I remember that I didn't speak the language which is why I don't remember a lot of details. It was probably English but I have the strong feeling that it was an Asian game.
I am 100% sure though that the game came on a DVD or CD from a German gaming magazine which is why I assume it was shareware/freeware. It could have also been a demo. It was either from Screenfun or ComputerBild Spiele. It's quite possible the game was on both and it's more likely that it was on a Screenfun CD. If anyone knows of a way to search what games were on those CDs, I'm certain that I could find it.
Platform: PC
Genre: Educational
Estimated year of release: probably early 2000s, very possibly (very) late 90s
Graphics: not sure, I think 2D. Average for the kind of game and era, I remember thinking at the time that some of the jungle/underwater scenery was nice.
Notable characters: An explorer who I think was wearing a yellow hat
Notable gameplay mechanics: The main thing I remember is that in order to play the game you had to answer 3 multiple choice geography questions correctly. Each question you got right made the explorer descend further down a rope and when you landed (possibly in the jungle) you could play the other mini games. I would have been about 11-12 and found the questions quite hard as I remember sometimes having to try several times to get to play. I can’t remember anything about the levels except I think one was maybe photographing underwater creatures?
Other: This may have come free with a book. I lived in the U.K. and I kind of doubt this made it internationally as it was fairly basic. I thought it was called Earth but Google isn’t helping with that. The premise of the game was mostly about physical geography I think, I vaguely remember that it had things about parts of a river (eg meander, oxbow lake etc) in one of the levels, and maybe something about volcanoes too.
I was flipping through some of my old magazines and came across this several-page review/guide for EverQuest in the July 1999 issue of PC Accelerator magazine (PCXL). Thought some folks here might enjoy giving it a read.
