ROCKSTAR6000 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Just wanted to say that i've been a member for only 2 days and just wanted to comment that I have been looking around, downloading some mags, and getting addicted to the arcade section and I just wanted to extended my appreciation to the site owner and all the ones who put in alot of hard work here on this site, I used to read Nintendo power all the time and make wish lists of all the games I would want to have, alas my parents put them along with my 1st ever nintendo in a storage unit that they eventually decided to stop paying on and lost it all... so I like that I can find the majority of them on here and read through them including the ads, so keep up the hard work and I will do whatever I can to help out to in the near future. as for now it's off to work... :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathUser Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 This is a great resource site. I'm a sysop for a gaming wiki and it's been really helpful having these old magazines around for download. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perudon Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 I am totally in agreement. Thank you so much for this site. It is an amazing resource to those who love Retro gaming. I honestly don't know of any other readily accessible source of so many different gaming publications and so many years of each. Thank you Retromags!!

KiwiArcader Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 And what you all "MEANT" to say was "I have all these in original hardcopy format and am just downloading cause I want a digital copy" as per the disclaimer ROFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atik Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 HI. I wonder if you can help me. I just joined this site recently and as I know practically nothing about computers I havent been able to successfully download any magazines yet. I've just been getting a message about cbz/cbr to pdf when I try to open what I've just downloaded. Anyway I hope you can help. Thanks.

meppi Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Download and install the following program on your PC. (I'm guessing you're using a PC, if you use a Mac or Linux let me know) http://comicrack.cyolito.com/index.php?opt...4&Itemid=27 When you download a file from our site, unpack it with winrar or something similar. Then you will get a cbz/cbr file. Simply double click this file and the just installed ComicRack should open it. If not you might have to right-click the file and choose open with... Go to your program file folder and select "always open this type of file with" ComicRack and click OK. That should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atik Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey. Thanks a lot for all the information. I've just downloaded and installed that ComicRack program. I'm going to download a magazine from Retromags next week sometime and hopefully I'll be able to open it this time. Thanks again for your help.

Seishiro Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 A lot of magazines and comic books are coming out on DVD (MAD, X-Men, etc.), so a while ago I e-mailed Nintendo and suggested they put out a DVD of every Nintendo Power ever. And they said there were no plans to do any such thing. What a waste. But they don't have to now that there's this site! I can't wait to see what kind of weird old-school stuff I'll find here. My local bookstore used to get these UK videogame magazines, and they really blew my mind. I'm really glad there's a site now devoted to this very important, but formerly neglected, aspect of gaming culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazylightsaber Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 I just downloaded Nintendo Power #1 and it just as good as I remember all them years ago! Great job and great site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
