Retromags Curator E-Day Posted June 25, 2021 Author Retromags Curator Share Posted June 25, 2021 So everything I scanned in January is finally scanned an in my release queue. this past week I scanned and edited the following small game catalogs from @Coldheat007 which are now also in my release queue: Activision Video Game Cartridge Catalog (1982) ColecoVision Catalog (1982) Imagic Game Catalog (1982) Intellivision Game Catalog (1981) Intellivision Game Catalog (1982) Magnavox Odyssey2 Game Catalog (1980) Magnavox Odyssey2 Game Catalog (1981) Scan total is now 945. Up next will be an issue of VG&CE from @Joseph4587, the August 1995 issue of GamePro that will be released with the restored pages from the original QuarkXPress layout files from GamePro themselves, a pile of Nintendo Power issues that I have been sitting on for years from two people that contacted me through Facebook to donate as well as a few other odds and ends as well as and more non-gaming magazines . So if anyone enjoys editing Nintendo Power and their posters and fold-outs, let me know. I'm not looking forward to it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator Popular Post E-Day Posted July 18, 2021 Author Retromags Curator Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 So I commenced on scanning the two boxes of Nintendo Power issues that were donated to me years ago through Facebook and an unsolicited email in 2018 (got them in 2019). I had scanned through 78 issues before I had to stop. My Fujitsu scanner ended up getting dust on the underside of the glass. My attempt to take the scanner partially apart and blow the dust out was a bit successful but it ended up getting dust in another spot under the glass the next day after scanning some more. I didn't want to take it apart again because I don't know how to take it apart properly and I didn't want to break it because it's really expensive to replace. So it's been shipped off to Fujitsu in Mississauga Ontario to get professionally cleaned. It's not cheap, but that is what the money from the Video Game History Foundation's purchase of my extra magazines is for. So, with those 78 scans plus the the VG&CE, GamePro August 1995, an Issue of Electronic Games from 1993 and an issue of @Gamer that will come out in 2022, that brings my scan total to 1,027. Geez. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator Popular Post E-Day Posted October 2, 2021 Author Retromags Curator Popular Post Share Posted October 2, 2021 So a quick update: Currently as of this post, Nintendo Power issues 115 to 167 are done except for 123, 128, 137, and 151. I have 123 and 151 but haven't scanned them yet for some reason. I also have 174, 175, 178 and 179 done, and am about to scan issues 180 to 204. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MigJmz Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Mind if i do PSM codebook 2000 its already scan but needs to be edited. Xbox Nation Issue 008 (June 2003) just needs pg.15 (Reclaiming Xbox) and probably a missing ad to be complete. Great scan quality wise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator E-Day Posted January 15 Author Retromags Curator Share Posted January 15 Go For it! One less thing for me to edit. I'll put the scans aside in the archive for safe keeping. I can put my scan of Xbox Nation 008 somewhere so you can grab whatever pages you need if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
