   This is the place where I usually wow you with comparison shots with the older scan available here, showing off some of the two page spreads.  I can't do that this time, because...THERE AREN'T ANY!  Nope, just single pages the whole way through. 
   So this is what this download will get you:
   Higher resolution - this scan is 3200px high, while the other is 2200. Whiter pages This mag was debound with a heat gun in order to get an edge to edge scan, while the other was debound with a guillotine cutter, cropping part of every page.  However, as I mentioned before, there are no two-page spreads, so the cropping on the other scan is barely noticeable since it was mostly just white space on the gutter side that was cropped away.  So the improvements to this scan in this regard are of minimal importance. To anyone who previously downloaded my scan from OGM or the Internet Archive, this version has been remastered/improved and those sites will be updated with this version once I'm able to do so. Unlike some of the other scans I've done my own updated version of, there isn't anything flawed about the older scan available here.  Which you prefer may be a matter of taste, but this new scan is still noticeably different enough that I feel it's justified offering it here for anyone interested.
   This scan is on the LEFT, the older scan is on the right.
   
   
   Oh, and WOW.  While I was comparing my scan to the other just now, I noticed that one of the pages is completely different.  Page 122 of my scan is again on the left, while page 122 of the older scan is on the right.  Perhaps there were regional variants?  Or maybe my copy of the mag was sold at Toys R Us stores?  Who knows, but the fact that there's an unexplainable and confusing variant of a Game Player's magazine shouldn't be too surprising to anyone familiar with their first several years of publications.  At any rate, now you know you need to download BOTH scans of this mag if you want your copy to be 100% complete BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
   page 122:

   I thought I'd already uploaded this, but nope, forgot.  This is an older "kitsunebi edition" (a fancy way of saying "a scan I did of a mag that already had a scan by someone else available here") and my editing techniques since then have changed a bit, so looking back on my older edits always makes me think about how I would do it differently now.  Nevertheless, these are the main perks you're getting with my scan vs. the other one available here:
   Higher resolution (this is 3200px high, the older one is 2200) This scan was from a mag properly debound with a heat gun, meaning the entire page was scanned, as opposed to the other scan which was debound by slicing away a portion of every page along the gutter side.  Although it's true that every page of the other scan is affected by this destructive debinding technique, it's usually only noticeable on pages that have images joined across facing pages.  This particular mag doesn't have a lot of two-page joins, but even some single page ads were negatively impacted by the other mag's cropped debinding, cutting off some of the text, so I'll give a few comparison pics below. page 125-127 (all editorial content) are included in this scan.  The other scan has some random advertisements in place of those pages.  It seems that the other scan was a printing produced by Toys-R-Us, as page 115 of the other scan is a TRU ad as opposed to mine which is an in-house ad for Game Player's.  This is something I also noticed on the previous issue of this mag, in which the version I scanned had a TRU ad while the other did not.  In this case, however the difference is not just the alternate ad - it appears that the other download available here (the TRU version) replaced 3 pages of editorial content (articles) with ads.  So this one is definitely the superior, more complete printing. Here are some comparison shots (mine is marked with my profile pic in the upper right corner):
   Showing the missing info along the center of the image due to cropping during debinding:
   
    
   Note the cropped text on these two ads on the left (gutter) side due to cropping during debinding:
   
    
   And here's pages 125-127, which it seems that for some reason Toys R Us replaced with random ads in the other scan:

    Here's another scan I realized I hadn't uploaded here yet.  For anyone who downloaded my scan previously from OldGameMags or the Internet Archive, please note that this release has been newly remastered (every page individually tweaked/re-edited).  So I guess this is a kitsunebi edition special edition LOL.
    In addition to the higher resolution, here's a few pics comparing this release with the other version available here.  This scan has my profile pic in the upper right corner.
