Archive.org also has a collection of old video and audio bit and pieces (including old TV adverts and full TV episodes and movies), and has started collecting old computer games which you can play in an online emulator.

Re: 'Starlog' magazines, read free online
If you had seen the TV show Face Off, like project runway but for fx makeup artists, this reminded me of the Fangoria magazine that was available at the same time, great reading back in the day, I think I still have a couple of old starlog mags around somewhere, Bill & Ted, Terminator 2, etc
Doomsday and Armageddon got together and had a baby and man is it ugly.
