  1. 15 days left on this deal, Lifetime memberships return to $15 on December 26th!
  2. Damn my subscription does not run out until November 2014
  3. Anything that has a Mario game or Zelda game....has to be counted....no matter how horrible those games were
  4. Well we have had 3 handhelds before (lynx, game gear, gameboy) and with the consoles.....what were we up to in 1995....like 6 (NES, Genesis, SNES, 3DO, PSx, Jag)......it may be overkill but Microsoft obviously had no problem shoving themselves into the mix back in 2001 when Sega, Nintendo and Sony were already established.
  5. Anyone else smell this in the works, Microsoft competes against Apples Ipod with the Zune, and Microsoft does not have its claws in a portable gaming system like Sony and Nintendo do. I feel that Microsoft will be trying to kill 2 birds with 1 stone very shortly. Anyone else have that feeling?
  6. Post up the system commercials for your favorite systems (not the game commercials) Here are a few to start! Sega Genesis Super Nintendo Nintendo Entertainment System Atari Lynx Virtual Boy Sega Saturn Sega Dreamcast Nintendo Gameboy Nintendo Gameboy Color Atari 2600 Atari 7800 Sega GameGear Atari 5200 Colecovision Intellevision Nintendo 64 3DO NeoGeo Pocket Color
  7. I noticed that we were getting some traffic from the following sites, and I went to investigate. So I went to find out who was sending people our way.....and found this..... http://www.grcade.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=4327 http://segasaturngroup.proboards81.com/ind...462&page=10 Let me state that I have no problems with what was done above, because the posts clearly link back to Retromags and they are providing the releases in the same condition as we are. So if you are a member over here NickSCFC......Thanks for the exposure
  8. Throwing this out there to see how much interest we have. I just went back through the Nintendo Power set and discovered the following..... Issues 90, 92, 111, 113, 114, 115, 116, 117, 118, 119 123, 124, 125, 127, 129 , 130, 137, 140, 142, 143, 144, 145, 146, 147 These are all missing from the Download Section but could all be released, if we just had the posters for these issues, I believe I scanned most of them....but unfortunately I suck at photoshop and cant stitch them together. Issues 121, 122, 126, 128, 136, 138, 139 These issues are missing the posters and the front cover, and could again be easily released with a tiny bit of work Then all I would need to do is find the following issues and scan for a complete set.... 148, 151, 152-161, 164-167, 169-174 Anyone interested in joining some posters? If it helps, I only care about the poster side being joined.....not the map side

  11. Update, I entered the Dark World and beat the first castle
  12. From November 22nd to December 26th, Retromags will be dropping the Lifetime subscription from $15 to $5.

  13. Thanks a ton for all the help! I should have approx 700 more covers scanned over the next few days
  14. Yeah my heaviest was 258lbs and that was back in June, Funny enough I can remember the day I found out I went from 210lbs to 216lbs and I flipped out.....looking back i wish I was back at that point. I cut back 85% of what I drink....as thats where my weight was coming from Wake up , drink coffee few hours later....as its wearing off....drink more coffee rest of the day....down sodas at night.....down glasses of ice tea (turkey hill) Not to mention that fast food was a big contributor. Now I am down to 245, and looking to push it even further......just wasnt expecting this guy to run me from one machine to the next. I have been hitting the gym for about 2 months now.....and this was my schedule Monday = Work Biceps, Triceps Tuesday = Walk 3 miles on treadmill (3-3.5mph) Wednesday = Work Chest and Back Thursday =Walk 3 miles on treadmill (3-3.5mph) Friday = Work Legs and Shoulders Saturday= Walk 3 miles on treadmill (3-3.5mph) Sunday = Off But this dude had me getting a 15 second rest between these things......wore me out FAST! Gotta get this extra weight off before July when I hit the big 30!
  15. What made you choose the username you currently use on Retromags? Mine is just because I was raised around the Philadelphia area, so whats your story?
  16. Ok so I am all for losing my extra weight, but this dude just does not realize that the workout he is making me do.....well really cant be done by someone as overweight as myself. I am 5-10/11 ....i always forget which one Supposed to weigh 180lbs.....but I am at 245 (65lbs overweight) So the trainer has me warm up on the treadmill.....ok Then he has me doing squats lunges with some medicine ball.....ok Then he has me doing side squats ......ok Then he has me hitting a punching bag with both of my palms (like 50 times)......now i am getting tired Then he has me put on punching gloves, and has me do 50 jabs straight for each arm......now i am super tired Then he takes me out to some machine, and throws a huge rubberband over the top, and has me doing 50 tricep extensions ......now I am about to pass out I had to stop him there, and I dont even think we were 25% through He had designed a circuit of training for me to do, I am guessing it was about 10-15 things.....the circuit was to take me 30 minutes, and I was suppose to do 2 circuit.....so after I got done with the first one.....I would redo all of those exercises again......WTF???? Yeah we never even made it to the weight machines, Even after I cut the session short.....It took about 90 minutes for my heart and body to return to a normal state.....I can not even imagine what would have happened if I went through the entire thing.....i would probably have died
  17. Dont worry about how much you guys do EGM is only the first one, we will also be importing a ton of GamePro covers, PSM Covers, Xbox Covers, Next Generation Covers, Gamers Republic Covers, and other misc things that will need help on the wiki. Even after all the covers are imported to the correct spots, we will then be offering memberships to people who help fill in the following Reviewed Games Previewed Games Cheats and Passwords for Games So by no means will there be a shortage of work to be done, I am trying to give our members who dont have access to a scanner, plenty of ways to earn a upgraded status....while helping the site become better for everyone.
  18. Very much, Thank you for lending a hand
  19. Check out this guys videos, what he does in Boom Blox is sooo awesome! http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=wizeguy&view=videos
  20. Anyone else on here have Boom Blox for the Wii? I picked up a copy for like $20 the other day and I spent 3-4 hours straight last night playing it. Its very addictive
