Scans of old Macintosh magazines with gaming sections?

Does anyone know if something like that is available somewhere?
I've only found this (French) so far:

There isn't much to be found there gaming-wise though. Some multiformat magazines, such as Computer Gaming World or Computer and Videogames, sometimes reviewed Macintosh releases, but I'm looking for mags which pretty much covered everything that came out monthly, and advertisers regulary listing games for Macintosh to buy. I'm guessing part of the problem is that certain Mac-specific mags that started out in the 80s appear to be still in business.

Retromags is a similar English site, but I don't think it has any Mac-specific stuff.

Retromags is great, and I've got mag sources for pretty much all mainstream (and some not so mainstream) computer systems found across the web, except for the Mac.
More multiformat magazines based in the US might be worth to look out for, except for Computer Gaming World, all I have so far are European ones, and I guess the Mac didn't have a comparable market position here.
