Just one upload today - a guide for the first in the Gōketsuji Ichizoku series (known as Power Instinct in the USA). I'm not familiar with this series from Atlus, but then I was never a fan of fighting games. However, I feel the marketing for this game was all wrong. Here's the SNES cover: You can almost smell that guy's foot right? Really makes you want to buy it, right? Now here's the cover for the Japan-only release of Gōketsuji Ichizoku 3. Don't even try to tell me this isn't the direction they should have taken from the start. Feet or underboob. I sure know which one I'd choose. Anyway, here's the guide: https://archive.org/details/PowerInstinctGouketsujiIchizokuThoroughStrategy

Well, one USA based member offered their collection of Computer Games: Strategy Plus magazines here and no-one replied so I ended up taking them at some cost in shipping to get them to New Zealand. This should never have happened. You'd think at least one scanning member here in the USA would have taken him up on it but that didn't happen. Same happened for Sega Dreamcast Official Magazine (Japan) and that's a console title albeit in a different language but still, you get where I'm going with this? The user base here is console oriented AND to a certain extent not all that interested in the hard work involved in getting the content online especially when you consider Retromags has 13,000+ members here but only a handful of scanning members inclusive of yourself and Phillyman and a couple of others throwing an edited marktrade magazine out occasionally. I have only 95 members over at KiwisWorld and again, a handful of scanning members but most of those members didn't even consider scanning for Retromags as: They felt the site was too USA oriented and they mainly reside in the UK or Australia so thought more people would appreciate their content on an alternate site and A couple, myself included, feel the content restrictions here are simply too restrictive I completely understand Phillyman has every right to determine what can be hosted here but not accepting 3rd party scans if quality is acceptable and imposing date restrictions on content when the publisher has discontinued magazines IS going to have an effect on enticing people to actively contribute. That's why Archive.org is what it is, the biggest receptacle for content on the planet and why both our sites which used to be THE places to come to, aren't so much any more. I don't care one iota about it but I personally think it's had a big impact. No doubt Phillyman will say that the value added benefits of the magazine database give Retromags added value but really? Who comes here to look at the database? Me, when I want to check an issue here or there but most everyone else comes here for magazines, and things have been somewhat glacial on that front in recent times. Not Meppi glacial mind you, but slow nonetheless.
