Game Boy magazines

[noobish hat]

Ok, so this is about another UK magazine, so I know this won't interest most of you, but I want to find out more about Total Gameboy Color magazine. I visited this site a few months ago, back when the downloads were for contributing members only, but in the gallery I remember seeing covers for a lot of issues of this mag (I just couldn't download them). Now even the cover gallery is empty. I'm assuming that all the stuff was taken down and Phillyman had to change the site around or something, right? And now it's a case of putting back up everything that was already there, in addition to all the new stuff?

Anyway, I used to have almost all of these mags from when they first came out, but my mum threw them away (with the rest of my extensive magazine collection) when I was at university. All I have now is issue 4 and 10 which were hard found. There are NO auctions on ebay for this magazine, none in the last few months at least. I managed to find issue 4 in a box of my old stuff which managed to survive my moum's purge, and issue 10 I did actually get from ebay, but it was hidden away in an auction with two Official Nintendo Magazines, which I didn't particularly want. Issue 10 was strange to me, because for some reason I had got it into my head that I used to own every issue, and yet I'd never seen issue 10 before.

If anyone could at least tell me how many issues there were of this magazine, I would be really grateful, and I will perform sexual favours for anyone who is able to help me obtain any of these issues (advance notice: I am a bloke). If there are issues which still need to be scanned (again, I believe there are a number that have already been scanned, they're just not on the site anymore), then I would be happy to do that if I can get the mags, seeing as they are only about 50 pages, and have simple stapled spines. I think the layout of this site is a bit off though; there are galleries for some magazines, but they're empty, and others don't even have a wiki page, even though they were the biggest mags around at the time. Of course, I'm talking UK magazines here, like N64 Magazine and Official UK Playstation Magazine, but still.

Hey noobish hat, we love all magazines....even ones that we can only appreciate the photos . I will check into the files you were looking at, we had a few members leave us a few months back, and they requested their contributions be removed. This may be the case with the files you are looking for.

Man if I had a quarter for every time someone told me they had an extensive collection that got trashed. I will see if I can find some of these gems to scan.

Hmmmm I think you may have a better chance if you keep the manly sexual favors to yourself. I will do my best to try and solve this mystery. Its been a while since I have had to do some investigating, time to go grab Shaggy and Scooby and see what I can dig up

Well, I found Total Game Boy Color issue one over on emuparadise, which I believe has an archive of all the stuff that used to be on here before whatever happened happened, and I hear it is the only copy that was ever scanned. I did just do a complete scan of my issue 4, but i realised afterwards that my scanner had smudges on it, and a lot of the pages have blurred portions as a result, so I may have to rescan at some point. I have issue 10 also, as I said, but I believe it was printed in 2000. I think some early issues also went under the name of Total games guide to Game Boy Color, just fyi. As a side note, I also just got N64 Magazine issue 1, (leaving me with only 2-6 to complete my collection), but I have found it nearly impossible to scan due to the spine and width :(
