Not sure if I'm just using the search function incorrectly, but the site seems to completely lack Finnish magazines? Such as: - Pelit (major one, been running since 1993 or so) - Mikrobitti (first published since 1984, still running but has became much more mainstream -- and uninteresting -- after 2003) - Printti (one of the oldest, and already archived over at https://www.flickr.com/photos/pelittaako/collections/72157650727960712/ ) - C=Lehti (archived fully on Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/c-lehti ) - Enter (Mainstream, never bought this myself, but it ran from 2000 to 2006.) - Kompuutteri Kaikille (Was renamed to Kotimikro in 2004, still running. Started as a hybrid gaming/software/hardware magazine, but has become focused mostly on hardware over the years.) - Micropost (hobbyist magazine 1983-1985, very low print numbers. Never seen a copy of it myself.) - MSX Uutiset (hobbyist MSX magazine; first issue is on Internet Archive - https://archive.org/details/MSXUutiset11987 ) There's also a couple of 'magazines' published by game stores: - Com Club (little known monochrome publication by long-defunct Com 2001 game store, included the catalog of the store but also game reviews, news, etc. Here's one scan from Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/comclub199303 ) - Trioposti (published by Triosoft game store, who are still active. Started as a small leaflet, became magazine-sized over the years, full of reviews, and ran for a couple of years during the golden age) Not quite sure if the last two fit the scope of this site, but the rest do. Is there any particular reason why they're excluded, or is it just because of lack of contributors? I could upload some covers for the gallery at least, if the entries were added. By the way, one modern Finnish magazine worth mentioning is Skrolli - https://skrolli.fi/en/. It covers wide range of topics, including retro gaming and computers. Too fresh to be included in this database, but I suspect that some folks here might be interested in it. It's made for (and by) hobbyists, most of whom have been gaming since 80s or earlier.

Here's an update about the Finnish magazines. My plan was to do only some background research and maybe forward some magazines to people with scanners, but there have been some unexpected developments, so the short version of the story is that I will be scanning magazines myself. I have received some magazines for free, for instance, someone was moving and was about to throw magazines away, unless someone wanted them, and I took them. I have found some magazines in auctions relatively cheap, and the best part is that many times the sellers have given some free bonus magazines, in one case the free bonus magazines were actually rarer than the magazines I was actually paying for! There have been strange happenings, like when I was bidding for a pile of magazines, but the price got a bit too high for me. A while later I unexpectedly happened to cross paths with the guy who actually won the pile, and he only wanted a couple of magazines from what he had bought, and he sold me most of them cheaper than the auction price was. And as I wrote earlier, I was not going to do any scanning, as I didn't have a good enough scanner. I happened to find a professional A3 size scanner that was on sale much cheaper than the actual price is. I thought it was a pricing error, but I decided to order it anyway. Soon after I made the purchase, the price was raised, not once, but twice, and you can't currently buy the scanner at all, which is a strong indication that it was a pricing error of some kind. Whatever the case there may be, I actually did get my scanner for a cheap price, and it's a very good scanner! So now, unexpectedly, I have a few piles of magazines and a scanner, it's almost like some kind of destiny was putting all these pieces together. I am probably able to upload something soon, but first someone would need to create those database entries for new magazines and a new country. So, who's the person to send information and details about these magazines to?

I don't want to say that BAFTA has no business declaring the most iconic video game character of all time with their "worldwide" poll of "over 4000 gamers," so I'll let their list say it for me. Lara Croft, Tomb Raider Mario, Super Mario Agent 47, Hitman Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog Sackboy, LittleBigPlanet Pac-Man, Pac-Man Link, The Legend of Zelda Master Chief, Halo Kratos, God of War Shadowheart, Baldur’s Gate 3 Arthur Morgan, Red Dead Redemption 2 Pikachu, Pokémon Steve, Minecraft Solid Snake, Metal Gear Solid Crash Bandicoot, Crash Bandicoot Cloud Strife, Final Fantasy VII Astarion, Baldur’s Gate 3 Kazuma Kiryu, Yakuza Ellie Williams, The Last of Us Nathan Drake, Uncharted OK. Lara is pretty well known in many places (not Japan), but more iconic than Mario? Please. And #3 is generic bald guy Agent 47? Does your mom know who Agent 47 is? No, of course not - he's not iconic. Pac-Man? Iconic. Pikachu? Iconic. SACKBOY? Not iconic. This list is wickety wack, y'all. Stick to films, BAFTA.

Oh my gosh, I remember both that letter and the Cloud In His Undies artwork that showed up a couple of months later! That's freakin' HILARIOUS! Good on you for making her wish come true! For anyone else wanting to check this out, the letter appeared in EGM #100, page 16, written by someone using the pseudonym "Terra" from Springfield, MA. EGM's response was that after all the controversy surrounding them publishing the info about the Nude Raider website, they couldn't possibly show such a thing. The responses came in issue 102, on page 12, first with a letter from "Celes" excoriating EGM for printing a picture of Lara in a bikini on the page immediately following "Terra"'s letter (in EGM's defense, that was an ad, not internal artwork or a reader-submitted piece) and asking for said Cloud in Undies picture. Right below that is @Liquidd's letter and artwork. As another amusing aside, the letter just below that is about the secret message EGM ran in issue #100 about GamePro. The response from the editor tells readers to keep an eye out for other hidden messages from EGM, because sometimes they just throw one in there for the heck of it. Which they actually did right there, since the first letter of each sentence spells out the word 'THANKS'. Cheeky buggers... *huggles* Areala

New here, first post. I've got two of the missing Game Player's PC Strategy Guide - vol 3 no 5 and 6. Happy to scan 'em - will take a look at the scanning guide next. --Thom

Oh, and there's a few others that I failed to list. - Pelaaja (100% gaming focused, been running since 2002.) - PC Pelaaja (separated from the former in 2005 and ran for a couple of years, focusing on PC gaming while the other focused on consoles.) - Joyboy (Another game store magazine, ran from 1994-2001. Never seen this one myself.) - Pelimestari (Finnish translation of Games Master, ran from 1998 to 2005). - PC Gamer Suomi (Finnish translation of PC Gamer, ran from 1998 to at least 2000,. not sure for how long) - Nintendo-lehti (Finnish translation of Nintendo Power, ran from 1990 to 1994.) I don't see the last three as a high priority for archival, since the English versions have been scanne. There were also some short-lived Finnish Playstation 1 & 2 magazines that I know next to nothing about.
