GamePro Issue 059 (June 1994)

Thank you for these re-scans, E-Day. I was looking back, and by no means were the originals bad, but I think the standard at the time was 25 to 50MB for an issue, but sometimes you would get 100MB. But eventually the process of scanning at 600dpi (right?) and then compressing them down to something more managable seems to be the standard for a bit now. Some go overboard, like I found a Japanese-only 3DO magazine that had a 1GB file! And this was around only 60 pages. It looked good, but thats a big file per mag. These new GamePro scans look wonderful, and have so much detail you can really zoom in without getting much pixelization unless you go extreme. The detail in the ads is so crisps and clear (I know, but the variety of color saturation and fine detail is always higher for ads it seems then normal artwork done by the magazine staff itself) -- way better than looking at them with the naked eye, I think. Thanks again for the effort!
