which example you learning from? i hope its one of my better ones... lol hey while you're talking players guides, i have the super game boy and killer instinct guides... im plannin on doin them when i can, so if you have them, hold off on them till i get my butt in gear again;)

if you scan ten mags, you'll be a premier scanner, and have more access to the current works in progress etc, and you'll certainly held in higher regard if you request something or ask someone for something... check out our works in progress, or ask us whats going on to see what you can contribute. ztt: see? that wasnt longwinded!

one thing missing: Midget attack you gotta have a midget attack if you're any good!

Hello, I am writing this to mainly new members- so if that's you read on! My name's Jay, and I found this site about two months ago. I was searching for the old issues of Nintendo Power, and this site was the best thing I could find on the subject. There were a few torrents posted, which I downloaded, and I saw this site's name on them. I checked out the site, and it was really cool- and it didn't yet have half the stuff on it now, like an arcade or casino. When I first contacted phillyman and got an idea of what was what, i was pretty impressed. At first I was even surprised that anyone else was interested in this sort of stuff. The first thing I did was pull out my old box of NP's in my basement, and figure out what I could do to help- and with my automatic feeder scanner, I began dropping issues of NP on it, sometimes up to 2-3 a day at first. I didn't personally want copies of those issues, but I did it to help out- because other people were doing work on other issues I DID want. This way, I could download thiers, and send them these issues in return. I don't think there are more than a half dozen people that are working on scanning books and putting them together in a presentable way for the public- and thats a shame. In the past few days, there have been requests for people to post books, scan books, and supply for download certain things, but I've seen far else people jumping in to help. You don't have to go crazy like I did and scan all day long- I know people get busy, just like I got a job last month, and I slowed down. But if some of you out there can scan 1 book a month, or more (you don't even have to rip it apart to scan it, just hold it open on the scanner- it goes faster than you think), then you would be taking a lot of burden off people like philly and myself, not to mention zttfan, who scanned a great deal. (If i missed you here, I apologize- im typing this off the top of my head late at nite)... and if you can't do that, click on the donate link to donate a few bucks to help buy some old books to scan- noone's getting rich off your contributions, but instead, its a great way to help supply the books you want to people who are willing and able to scan them and make them pretty for you. I posted a bulletin 2 weeks ago asking for help renewing my scanner's warranty. 27 People read it, and not surprisingly, Philly was the ONLY person offering me help. If 5 people out there each donate a lousy THREE DOLLARS each, that's half the price of the warranty. I could get my machine fixed up, because its running like crap now. I wouldn't have to watch it like a baby for pages that get caught (and torn up beyond repair, usually before scanning), etc etc. for the next two years, Id have a brand new machine delivered any time i wear one out. Just drop me a message. The link is right on the side of your screen next to my name. Like i said, helping isn't hard. An hour and you can do a whole magazine, upload it to the ftp, and have it fixed up and looking like a brand new magazine by one of the people editing the books. Three dollars is hardly going to break your bank, but it'd make it much easier to afford the machine i've used to scan at least 1,500 pages for others so far. People supporting the site get far more consideration asking nicely for something over people who sign up and post a list of 'wants' without offering anything back to the community. That's all I have to say. Go enjoy a few video games, read through the forums and join a conversation or two, try killing another user (not literally, look at the attack system!), and then go donate a few bucks or find something you can scan, make sure noone's scanned it yet, and scan it;) there's plenty of us around that'll help you get started if you need it. Just ask. Take care -Jay

as an engineer I cannot understand how technology like this can have such major flaws that aren't realized until its too late who remembers the massive credit card number thefts from last yr?

creative, ill give him that...

I'd like a cbr version also, perhaps you can capture each page to jpeg/tiff and .rar them into a .cbr to help out?

Perhaps as a new member, you can contribute something to our site? There seems to be a lot of requests and similar posts lately, but noone actually HELPING. I'm getting tired of running my scanner into the dirt scanning books for others, and not seeing anyone ever ask "What can I do to help?" Anyone else agree?

you mention a lot of older magazines, and i dont think ive ever really heard much about any of them. do you have any of these that you can help us out with?

im not sure about it all, but i'm interested in building a home entertainment PC myself... anyone have any info? sav feel free to msg me if you wanna discuss/ need help... im interested!

cool;) I've debound most of the players guide i have... that took forever...and ill get to working on it this week, maybe... but for now im doinga lot of it by hand because of the autofeeder being so bitchy lately... so be patient, but i AM working on it;)

Hey all, My scanner's getting all funky from running through so many pages, and its crushing more and more pages. Also, if you look at my newest scans, you'll see a small white line running through them... Well its time for me to get the scanner repaired/replaced. BUT my warranty's up, and I have to renew it... and that's $50 bucks I dont as of yet have.. So, if anyone wants to help me out and donate a few bucks, that'd be awesome. Even if I collect 25-35, I can scrounge up the rest... so whoever can help, Msg me and I'll give you my paypal info... Thanks in advance for what im hoping is much generosity!

saw that a while ago.. but cool!

speedy recovery!

People will continue to be fucking stupid as long as they're allowed to...

http://groups.myspace.com/retromags come on you know you wanna add yourself to the group... and start some topics and conversations that might get myspace browsers interested... Tons of ppl are on myspace, who knows, the next big scanner could pass by and see us there. And while you're at it, add me to your friends also! Jason

East Meadow, Long Island, New York here... added to the map, but i remember seeing a map a while ago.... check out my new topic about a myspace group! -Jason

i dont have any fun clubs.. .WAY before my time- but if we can find decent scannable copies on ebay, im willing to buy scan them.. .so lemme know if you see anything in the meantime, can you please upload or start a torrent for the cbrs of the ones you have? or even uploading them to my ftp would be great... whatevers easiest for you. thanks -Jay

hmm... apple and disney being one company... would that mean every new mac comes with its own 'mickey' mouse? sorry, i had to;)

super metroid and lolo 3;)

do you have the stickers in the back of it? if not, i have a copy that has them intact (although one is loose and moved a little bit), i can add that in if you need. lemme know

anyone still got the fun club issues not in the downloads section? i'd like to catch up.... no luck lately... anyone?

i wouldnt mind that... any way to randomize the polls on the homepage? the one about what ppl think of the new website's been there wihtout any new votes for weeks now...

where were the covers from? perhaps someone scanned them with the issues somewhere? just a thought.. .hope it helps

perhaps if any moderators have the time, all new members can email and have you white-list them for an account... or something similar?
