  1. Frankly I am a bit puzzled by your reply call it bad English. You mean either I did not add a cover link or I can never add a cover link, I am unsure which meaning are you talking about . If you mean I can add cover links I could add them from my Photobucket account. But which option do I use, as I know some links don't work on some sites. For example on Atari Age the only way it can show any image is to download it. No other option works for me there.

  2. EGM2 Issue 45 March 1998 submitted. With me and my scans everything gets a bit more complicated the hard drive on my laptop which is my main computer btw, has a relatively small hard drive only 60 GB. I keep the bulk of my main scans and other junk on an 500GB external hard drive. In fact the issue I just submitted was stored on that drive, along with a lot more stuff I have.

    I also should be able to send E-Day the link to the last issue of Game Shark Magazine tomorrow, it's 146MB the bulk of that last issue is the IGN 2001 Buyer's Guide. The funny thing about that issue, there is an ad in it for both IGN Insider magazine and Game Shark Magazine. I know for a fact at the time I got that issue and the Game Shark Demo Disc that came with it. That Game Shark Magazine has ceased by then I know this because I called them.

  3. I like to add this. Enter is a unique magazine it started just before the great game crash and it really gives you a glimpse of what was exactly going on back then. You will see more than consoles vanished a lot of home computers disappeared as well. The issue with the David Crane interview really gives you a one of a kind view to his world at the time. I also say it is a great resource to those of you who still have those early computers not only do you get BASIC programs but software reviews and ads.

    Hey even if you aren't really in to those time Enter is well worth taking a look at. You will be surprised what you will find.

  4. Here is some good news this site is about to carry Enter Magazine. E-Day had recently agreed to post them on this site. Why is this such BIG news. Enter was a rather unique publication for it's time. Not only did it carry news and reviews of then current console games but computer games and software and hardware as well. The interview with David Crane should of interest to you fans of his. The article is remarkable as it goes in to detail unseen in any other publication period. As well as showing a brand new bit of tech back then....The CD Player. Then there are the programs in BASIC most were created by kids. Some are amazing, keep in mind they are in BASIC but some are very close to some classic games I could mention. I swear any fan of that era will find ever issue remarkable, you will find some stuff you frankly never heard of before. Keep in mind Enter was published between 1983 to 1985 right in the midst of the collapse of the video game and home computer market.

  5. I fully admit I have quite a few low res scans in fact that is why I have not submitted quite of bit of stuff I have including Enter Magazine (and btw I have every single issue scanned). Then yesterday after a Google search I discovered that GIMP can improve resolution. In fact I did a test yesterday on an image I download sometime ago and what can I say it worked. But here is the reason for this post, we all know the least the pixel width of any submission has to be at least 1280 and we all know increasing the pixel width of any low res image can lead to a blurry image. I just want to know is it possible to turn a low res image to a high res one using GIMP and if so what should I set the X,Y resolution to?

  6. Update so I decided to edit this post instead of adding a new one. Since I had no offers and I can't blame anyone. It was Mister Zero here who told me about dropbox.com which is yet another host site I never heard of before, it seems they have no file limit and as long as you keep your account active they will host your file. I will be using that for my larger files very soon. The 1st one I'll correct is Game Pro Dec 1990 soon it will be 1 very large cbr file.

  7. Just submitted Atari Lynx catalog from 1992 it says it's Volume 3 and has Batman on the cover. BTW this one is not even available on the Atari Age site for some reason.

    Due to scan size I am going to resubmit Sega Visions 25 as a PDF file

    I am planning on submitting EGM issue 53 (I made a mistake earlier when I said 54, which as I recently found out that issue hasn't been scanned just yet) I have to rescale the pages before I submit them, but I do need someones help as I just can't get them straight. Due to a fold out ad on the front cover no less. I need someone here to help me paste 2 or more scans together. It may seem like a simple task but I can't do it. I just can't get them straight.

    Game Pro May 1999 is sitting on a table right next to me, as soon as I get Monty Python's Big Red Book scanned I am going to work on it.
