The rest of you can download them now. It seems my girlfriend nearly destroyed everything yesterday. From messing up the links to the stuff I uploaded here to other things that I hope don't get me kicked off of a few forums I also belong to. Right now everything I hope is corrected and E-Day I'll get back to you asap. I have more stuff to correct and that is the reason way. Thankfully my computer did not pick up any viruses, and let me say she isn't my girlfriend any more. What a way to get dumped.

Okay I have been checking this site out and the one thing that honestly surprises me is the more junk I scanned over the years that same stuff isn't here. Namely the stuff added yesterday to the promotional and flyers section and btw I have more things I am going to add. Including this Tower of Druga tip guide I got with one of my Namco Museum discs. It was honestly included. Yet another thing which I still need to add and rescan due to pixel size is the original Garfield Caught in the Act comic book that came with the original Genesis game. The reason most of that stuff is already scanned is because I scanned it sometime back. I am almost done with the Sega Vision another 28 pages to go. I have EGM 54 Jan 1994 scanned I just need to reduce the pixel size and submit that as well. Meanwhile 53 is still in the need to do pile, like my Disney News, newer Game Pros and a few books.

Hold on to your socks!!! I just found my old Discworld Official Strategy Guide Prima 1995 (another one not listed) Inside it is a list of guides as soon as I copy then out I will post that list here as most of them aren't on the list either.

On Inside Edition yesterday they showed videos of Segway accidents. It turns out they are more common than you think.
-
I know there isn't anything funny about someone dying but in all honesty the Segway owner dying in a Segway accident...
-
Surprise surprise!!! I discovered an issue of Sega Visions that they did not have here and btw it's the very last one issue Twenty Five. All I really need to do is straighten one page and crop the rest. I scanned it sometime ago. I hope to submit this early next week there is 98 pages after all.

FULL COLOR with all details fully revealed.
Now if someone had the one for DOOM posted I would be happy

You missed one Myst Brady Games 1996 I am planning on both scanning and posting this one
-
You will not believe it's also fan made, those screen shots will speak for themselves http://www.sonicretro.org/2010/09/still-unnamed-unity-based-fan-project-releases-new-screens/

Currently scanning EGM2 45 - March 1998,

I want to openly thank E-Day for helping me. It seems there more to posting a magazine than just submitting it. First of all making sure there are no overscanning, and that the images are clean, not to mention reducing the pixel width to 1600 or less. That is what I am doing with the Dec 1990 issue of Game Pro. I just finished page 27 out of 212. This is going to take awhile. Once this is done of course I have a couple of issues I plan to submit. Also the Myst Guide, I have the PS1 version and I discovered a bug in the game some might find interesting. Once you activate all the switches on the island you and finish the game.

I have XP and I have not installed the comic book reader. I just unpack the files and view them that way.

GIMP works!!!!
-
actually 5 years old and I only have 512MB of RAM which is the real problem, and btw GIMP works. I tested out a few pages and once I reduce them down below 1600 wide right around 1MB of course I forgot I scanned the Dec 1990 issue of Game Pro at 150 dpi. Now the only real problem is cleaning up the pages...they are a mess, this is going to take time. I think the real problem is when you have the money your used to a real good program. But when you work for min. wage like me and haven't got a lot of cash to spare you have to make do with what you got, and free programs. I did not even buy my 1st digital camera until last year.

For the record I have 2 scanners a flat bed Cannon and a HP 2120 all in one at 300 dpi I can do roughly 40 pages straight to jpeg per hour, but due to a bad back I limit my scanning to just an hour or so at a time. I love your suggestions I check that out with GIMP. My computer is a but old too run Photoshop it frankly can't handle it.
I got a question for you experts around here, about how small should be the image file after I reduce it. Like the 1.8 to 2.7 MB files I have seen on magazines I downloaded or what?
-
I have a bit of a question/ problem which I hope someone here can at least give me some advice. You see I don't have a copy of Photoshop for the simple reason I can't afford it. Money is tight with me, I frankly don't have a lot of it. I have been needing some RAM for this old laptop of mine but other expenses get in the way.
My first submission here did not quite go as well as planned. I tried uploading to Megaupload and all I got was error messages but I figured out a way around it, namely 4shared.com . Also I did not shrink the pixels or fix the pages, thankfully E-Day is quite understanding, even with the 2 pages I missed. I can fix the pages meaning over scanning and rough edges with a combo of Photostudio 5 and GIMP, Photostudio actually came with my Cannon Scanner and I really like to program, it is very easy to use. The real problem I am asking about is the shrinking of pixels The only program I have to do this is MS Paint I found the setting of 60 for both horizontal and vertical does it. I get 1450 x 1935 which is well within this site's guideline. My only question it seems is file size you see MS Paint also brings down the file size to 491K and that's on a 300 dpi scan. Would there be any problems submitting an issue?

It's waiting for approval...also I had some problems even though I tried to submit a reduced cover scan the damn thing would not upload. I honestly got an error message
Here it is any way http://i769.photobuc...zinedude/01.jpg
Here is something I just noticed today I have the Dec 1990 issue of Game Pro already scanned I am going to try and submit this later this week.

Common sense won, the burning was called off.

Okay so it's been a while call it a combo problem of the heat we were having and me feeling the effects of heat stress. But now according to my doctor I am finally recovered it's time to start scanning again. Which I will do later today or tomorrow. But I already did my 1st test today and getting the image down to 1.8 MB so I could post it on Megadupload is now only a matter of finishing up the issue and setting up an account there.
But here is the real shocker the issue I am scanning is Game Informer Nov 1997 the one with Final Fantasy 7 on the cover.. Will let you know when all is done.

Since no one has anything to say I'll think I will add this. My favorite PSU easter egg no joke is a Atari 7800 commercial for Desert Falcon
-
You could call it both a very unique magazine as well as a great marketing tool. It's also a magazine that could never be posted here, what I am talking about is the Playstation Underground I own all 17 issues and am wondering both are there any other collectors here and would any one like to talk about it.

But may I remind you this topic does say starting point for new members
-
One comment that uploading a magazine link, it leads you to an error message
-
Here is a real simple solution.....simply unpack the files and view them as image files.
