The nice thing about 70s-80s computer magazines (and even some books) on archive.org is the relative lack of copyright concern: they're just out there without sign-on and checkout protection. Especially the ones for the 8-bit machines. You can find almost all the old magazines for those machines freely available, and no copyright concerns when people upload more. Even though it's still 50 years before they're public domain, in the computer world they're just "too old to worry about."
With one exception: there are absolutely no old issues of the Apple II magazine "Call A.P.P.L.E" (Apple PugetSound Program Library Exchange) anywhere online. The reason why is the group decided to keep the business going. The only place you can get those old issues is from the official callapple.org website for the price of subscription. Too bad, because there are old issues I'd love to read.
Any place to see a complete collection of Computer Language magazine? I have most of them but are missing the first few, and I can't find an online collection beyond the 10 issues they have here.
I also have a fairly complete physical collection but no way to scan it. I also have 10 PDFs from 1984/85 which is probably what you found.
I have 97 of the 106 issues so I'm missing 9: Mar 85, Aug 85, Sep 85, Dec 85, Feb 86, Apr 86, Aug 86, Sep 86, Oct 86. The asterisks are issues I have as PDFs.
The great thing about leafing through BYTE is seeing the old ads right alongside the articles. Today, the great content gets stripped away from the ads. Yes, you can go read some article from a newspaper from ten years ago, but the ads are contemporary not historical.
What’s the best replacement for the gaming magazines? PCGamer was the closest I was ever going to get to art criticism and appreciation in my younger years. What exists now for the next generation?

Was browsing a random issue for nostalgia and came across this (from 1992):
"LAN Analyzers Move to AI" https://archive.org/details/byte-magazine-1992-03/page/n311/...

I remember enjoying reading Computer Shopper, for the ads...

Of computer magazines today, I can only think of Hello World. Not a gaming magazine, but still.
Anybody know where to find an archive of Morph's Outpost on the Digital Frontier?
