  3. the "how often do you play your old consoles" topic got me thinking and feeling nostalgic, so wanted to share pics of my gameroom. my basement is cut directly in half by the staircase. on one side is my bar and the other side is games. here's a wide shot, showing the couch, console TV and the shelf i built to hold my NES games. also noteworthy is the pixelated Luigi art behind the tv and a Hylian shield/sword display beside it. a closeup of the TV so you can see the systems that are hooked up. i'm working on building a corner shelf to house the atari, to give the other systems room to breathe. and here's a picture of the shelf with my Nintendo games (168): stacked on top are the SNES (8) and Genesis (7) games. both of these collections are growing and will need a shelf soon.to the left you can see my R.O.B. with a plush Mario. the box they're sitting on houses the Atari games (approx 60) hope you enjoy!

  4. https://iremdb.com I finally managed to get something out ... This has become a much harder effort that I could have ever imagined. Having to both index magazines (currently at 17k pages) and build that horrible website, has become a very hard job, Hope it somehow people enjoy it. I got the basics out, list platforms, publications, magazine, search feature, and a basic viewer. Some things you can find there: All pages that contains Super Mario Bros 3 : https://iremdb.com/platforms/nintendo-entertainment-system-nes/super-mario-bros-3 All famous Sega ads "Genesis does what nintendon't": https://iremdb.com/search?mode=ads&tags=123 All John Madden Football ads: https://iremdb.com/search?mode=content&games=38633&contentTypes=Ads All content published by "Andromeda" editor from Gamepro: https://iremdb.com/search?mode=editors&editors=43 The entire "Legend of Zelda" comic strips from nintendo power published over 12 issues https://iremdb.com/search?mode=content&tags=228&contentTypes=Comic I need now to integrate a user management into the site, so people can start contributing if they wish. Some progress I made in automating the whole thing: I had managed to do some neat tricks such as automatic ads detection, given that 50% of those magazines are ads, I used a perceptual hash algorithm to finger print each ad page, and for each new issue, it simply looks in the database and usually get 80-90% of all ads indexed (it does miss about 10%, and there's always some new ads on each issue). I have also played with using custom object detection, and it works fine, for instance I automated all detection of gamepro reviews by looking for those silly faces, problem is that data labeling to train a model is as expensive in time as actually, you know labeling the page I had set a goal to release this to public as soon as I reached March 1993 (exact 30 years ago) in magazines indexed. I'll keep pushing new issues, and adding more features, need to get user integration or this is just a waste of my time. Once again, if you want to participate ping me again, I had to shut the other site down. I may also have to one day keep the viewer behind a login screen, the site has never been shown to anyone else but somehow hundreds of bots from some countries are just crawling it nonstop, if I want to keep CDN costs at bay, I may need to just let the thumb images to be public, other pages, and future features such as like, collection, custom searches, to be only for registered users. Constructive (does not need to be good, just constructive) Feedback is welcome

  5. HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY EVERYONE! Readers one and all, it is my pleasure as Administrator to announce the single largest acquisition in the history of Retromags. After several weeks of negotiation, Retromags, LLC, a privately-owned Limited Liability Corporation subsidiary of Retromags, with the generous support of two venture capitalists requesting anonymity, has acquired the complete rights to the GameFan brand. Along with this purchase came two complete runs of the magazine. One run will be donated to an archival organization for physical preservation. As for the other set...well, hold on to your seats! Phillyman, E-Day, and Kitsunebi have been working their scanners to the breaking point to make this happen, but starting on the first of April (00:01 EST just so there is no confusion), we will features the first six issues of DieHard Gamefan. Every cover, every ad, every review, every comic, every letter, every page front to back: it'll all be there. Every 5 days (or thereabouts), the site will release a new issue of Gamefan in chronological order. We will continue this process until every last issue is available for download here, and only here, at no cost to you, as long as our servers can hold out. On behalf of all the administrators, moderators, editors, scanners, readers, donators, and uploaders, I just want to say THANK YOU for making Retromags the best damn archival site on the Internet! Now get your mouse-clicking fingers warmed up. In two days, Retromags unleashes hell! *huggles* Areala

  7. Below is a list of everything that the Video Game History Foundation is getting scanned at the moment and will make available to us for release. They are being debound and scanned by a local company for a few dollars an issue. They are being scanned to PDF but the quality is quite high. A 100 page issues of Electronic Fun with Computers and Games comes in at a bit over 400MB, so these are not low resolution scans. And they are searchable which is something I've wanted for years! We'll be able to extract all the images and convert them to CBZ files and touch up and colour correct anything that's needed. From the looks of it it should be minimal compared to what is required now since they straighten and colour correct the scans. Some of these will already have been scanned since this list was created. I know I have several I have scanned and will be releasing. If you have any you have started feel free to keep going. This list is really meant to allow people to see what is being scanned so that they don't spend the time duplicating work by scanning it themselves, destroying a magazine to scan or hunting an issue down on eBay. If it's not on this list then it's probably safe to scan it The first number in the list will be the issue number when it's present.

  8. Hey there, a lot of you are probably familiar with me. I used to spend quite a bit of time here and was pretty obsessed with doing my part to protect the history of video games. I was pretty involved with Sega Visions and also played a role in cataloging Nintendo Power issues. I'm really glad to see that you've kept up the good work even after, I'd say, around 10-15 years since I was actively contributing. Now, I've got something I'd like to share with you, along with a little story. The year was 1988; my younger self had just embarked on the adventure of playing Phantasy Star for the very first time. As I fired up the game, I found myself wandering the virtual streets, soaking in the exquisite graphics of the Camineet Warehouse. Venturing out into the untamed wilds, my excitement quickly turned to dismay as a couple of Scorpions ended Alis's journey prematurely. Attempt after attempt, I succumbed to the same. I eventually threw in the towel. But then, a glimmer of hope emerged. Game Pro unveiled a mini strategy guide, unveiling the splendor that was Phantasy Star. It was then that I fell head over heels for RPGs. The 3D dungeons of Phantasy Star had me captivated, and I reveled in carefully mapping them out on graph paper. However, a craving remained unfulfilled—a strategy guide. Nintendo had always been on the ball, providing books to aid their players, so why wasn't Sega following suit? Let's fast-forward 35 years into the future. My dream has blossomed into reality, even if it might seem a tad belated and inconsequential... yet, it's anything but that. Within my grasp is a physical strategy guide for Phantasy Star. The concept of crafting such a guide sparked in me about two decades ago. At the time, I didn't do much with the idea, apart from a few scattered pieces of artwork. Then, the advent of COVID-19 altered the landscape, propelling me to actively pursue my long-cherished dream. And now, I'm on the cusp of completing this endeavor, with about 99% (at the time of me making the video below) of it finalized. I'm excited to share with you the culmination of my labor over the past two years. I've made the decision to release this book for free when it's completed. You can snag a PDF copy at no expense, or if you prefer a physical copy, I'll provide a link where you can utilize a print-on-demand service to get it at cost. Monetizing this endeavor isn't my aim. I undertook this project because it was a dream close to my heart, and I yearned to share that dream with fellow enthusiasts like you. I have included a video for your viewing pleasure: (If you were curious, it was Gamepro issue 3 September-October 1989). I located it and downloaded it years ago thanks to this website.) I think I've reached the point where I'm confident I'm at 100% completion. I might give the book another once-over just to be thorough, but I'm feeling pretty good about the current state. The video you're watching shows a test print, and I've actually made quite a few changes since then. Anyway, this project touches on video games, magazines, and the essence of retro gaming at its finest, so I was excited to share it with all of you. I'll definitely keep you posted as I gear up for the contest.

  9. I took a look at what's on the VGHF lists and what's marked as preserved in the database, here's what I found; issues that have been preserved are struck: Feel free to say if I missed anything in the VGHF folder, I don't currently have access to the NAS - not a problem, just have the credentials on another computer. Also, I was comparing the list to the database catalog and not the download section, so if they're marked inaccurately in the database, it'll be inaccurate here.

  11. I shall dub this new feature...... At a glance! What is Phillyman talking about? Well have you ever strolled into our Magazine database and wondered......How close is Retromags to completing this section? Well ask no longer! I give you AT A GLANCE!!!!! Now the status tags from a particular category will tally themselves up into the corner. Giving you insight into how complete that section is The best part is once a magazine is fully preserved, it just cleanly lets you know because only values that are greater than zero records will show. EDIT: Actually there are three clean situations I see. A category is completely missing any scans, it is completely preserved, or it is not allowed at all. Every other situation is a work in progress for that category.

  14. After months of behind-the-scenes deliberation, infused with a ridiculous amount of name-calling, indian leg wrestling, and wedgies, the administrators have reached their conclusion and are now ready to share it with the rest of the community. Presenting: RETRO MAGS! Ruminate with us for a bit. You'll notice that nowhere on the site does it specifically state we are set up to only scan and host old magazines about computers and video games, and every so often we'll receive a request from a user inquiring about whether or not we handle this or that sort of publication, or help finding out-of-print periodicals of various sorts. Fishing magazines. Car magazines. Science magazines. There's a magazine for everything, and if there isn't now, then there probably was in decades past. It's true! Literally starting today, Retromags is going to become your one-stop shop for everything related to old school magazines. Hobbyist publications, consumer reference, news and entertainment...it's all coming both soon and now. Just think: your dad may finally track down that issue of Organic Gardner he read as a lad! Your grandmother may thrill to a digital version of the doll collector's monthly she subscribed to twenty years ago! Those classic 80's knitting patterns? They're going to be here too! Vintage Wrestling quarterlies, 1960's era Hot Rod publications, celebrity gossip rags from back when the hair, the shoulder pads, and the feuds were larger than life? Forget download limits. These files are big, beautiful, and cleaned up to current-year specs as best that we (and Photoshop) can accomplish. To prove we aren't kidding, we've got a handful of brand new releases we've been holding back on for this very announcement. Only you guys could make it possible, with your contributions of time, energy, and cold, hard cash. Especially that last part. Thank you, anonymous donor who wishes to remain anonymous for that sudden infusion back in February. Obviously this is going to require a bit of a site overhaul. Expect to see some serious changes to the way things like the databases are structured as we get things in line with the new, expanded concept. We're aiming to add roughly a dozen different categories per week, then new sub-categories within them similar to the way the gaming magazines are currently broken down by area of release, then name of publication. It's a lot of work, and not something which can be done all at once, but we're going to push on as best we can. Limited site downtime and outages may occur infrequently as we make these changes. The forum software is robust, but we're going to be subjecting it to an awful lot of stretching in directions we aren't sure Invision means for it to stretch. Errors may crop up here and there, and if so, we hope you'll be patient with us. If it all goes as planned, these relics of yester-year will be hosted, preserved forever for future generations to marvel and laugh at. We spared no expense scouring the seedy underbellies of auction sites, hunting for the weirdest, tackiest, most off-beat examples we could find to show we mean business when we say, "At Retromags, we scan it all!" Sincerely - Phillyman, E-Day, Areala, and the rest of the Retromags staff!

  15. Hello! A little while ago I mailed in a handful of gaming publications to a service similar to 1dollarscans, which I first learned of through a thread posted here several months ago. I only sent in things I was sure hadn't been uploaded elsewhere, and I've since received all of the scans and posted them to the Internet Archive. There's really a ton but highlights include: Super Smash Bros. Melee Official Player's Guide (was surprised it hadn't already been uploaded with how popular the game still is, but then I suppose it doesn't mention wavedashing) A bunch of Nintendo Power subscriber-exclusive bonuses (catalogs, preview zines and more) Disney Adventures Winter 2000 (video game edition of a Disney children's magazine) Pokemon Gold & Silver Adventure Guide by Versus Books (this amazing guide, in an effort to not spoil anything, will often give you the encounter percentages of Pokemon in an area but not tell you what the Pokemon are) Animal Crossing Official Player's Guide Scrye Pokemon Price And Players Guide 2000 (extensive one-off magazine about the Pokemon TCG at the height of its popularity) A note about the quality: these were scanned at 300dpi with no touch-ups, overall I'm very happy with them. Regarding the quality of the magazines themselves, many of the covers are beat to hell but are mostly fine once you get into them. I'm sure that at least some of these will be scanned in better quality in the future by folks more willing to dedicate the time and care, but in the meantime I'm happy to share everything I've got. Enjoy! https://archive.org/details/@fauwf?&sort=titleSorter

  18. As someone who has scanned magazines, I feel I am qualified to answer this with sober honesty. The reason someone decides to scan magazines is probably analogous to the reasons someone decides to write fanfiction. It starts because they have a passion for a particular subject, like the love lives of the crew of the Starship Enterprise (or in our case, games, or more specifically, game magazines) and they want to contribute something to the fandom of that subject. Secretly they hope that their efforts will be applauded, but just like fanfiction, their efforts go mostly unappreciated, unless it's a really good Kirk/Spock slashfic or a scan of one of those mags everyone on Earth owned when they were 12, like Nintendo Power. Also, much like fanfiction, regardless of whether their efforts are appreciated or not, and no matter how esteemed a reputation they might manage to build for themselves amongst the online fandom they're a part of, it will always be their secret shame, one they will almost definitely keep hidden from their flesh-and-blood acquaintances. Because no matter how you look at it, spending countless hours slaving away at a scanner/computer just to create a copy of something you already own (and ironically, destroying it in the process), is a complete waste of time at best, and an indefensible act of insanity at worst. Water cooler chat: "So how was everyone's weekend?" "Awesome. Went out drinking with my friends." "Took in a play with the wife." "Went fishing and camping with the kids down by the lake." "I hit it off with this girl at the club." "....And what about you, Bob?" "Ah, you know. Sat around all day Photoshopping pages of GamePro. Same as last weekend."

  27. 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.

  28. I come to download a bunch of mags, check out some covers for magazines I've never heard of. I don't post on the forums too much. Lately I been splitting time between indexing various magazines I'm nostalgic for and updating various parts of the video game db. I've been going through various systems and adding developer, genre, release date and rating, but currently I've got a bunch of PS2 games that I'm scanning covers for and updated other info.

  40. Apologies for being very silent lately. Had a lot of stuff I had to figure out, some personal, some actually related to scanning. I never stop challenging myself. I've lost over 120 lbs. since Pokémon Go came out last July and have about 50 more pounds to go. It really seems like those are the hardest. I scanned an issue of Game Player's PC Strategy Guide and have an issue of Game Player's MS-DOS Strategy Guide coming in the mail. Little by little we'll conquer this magazine. Today is an issue of Dimension-3. https://archive.org/details/@marktrade https://www.patreon.com/marktrade

  50. Many reasons. Nostalgia Having lived through video gaming's rise in popularity, there's something about video game magazines that really take me back. The gaming press was my Internet back then. Curiosity There are so many magazines I've never heard of - especially those from other countries. It's great being able to try out stuff I've never read before. Convenience It's far easier to pull up a digital file on a PC or tablet than digging a physical copy out of my magazine collection. Preservation Let's face it, physical magazines won't last forever. Digitizing and disseminating mag scans helps preserve them for future generations, in the same way digitizing other forms of media allows for greater permanence. Cost and Availability Some magazines are difficult to find, and when they are found, they're often very expensive. Many magazine publishers are out of business or don't offer back issues for sale. History Video game magazines ARE video game history. Modern magazines may offer retro coverage, but always with the bias of hindsight. The gaming mags of the day reflected the attitudes and mindset of the day. They're essentially time capsules. Assistance I'll still reference an issue of Tips & Tricks when working on a particular game.
