thanks. i got that already a few days ago and its the only GP issue i've had a problem with yet.

http://www.retromags.com/magazines/category/usa/game-players/game-players-issue-35#.Uw3qv_ldWmt someone might need to reupload that one... if there is still a spare file copy somewhere D;

this was an awesome magazine cover that showed up in perhaps 1994. The magazine might have been Tips And Tricks or something called Video Games. does anyone recall it?

speaking of game players again, i dont think their humor showed up until some time in 1994.

oh i didn't realize these magazines were under different accounts. thanks

oh, well thanks for checking it out and responding

and it is that particular issue too. i tried some previoous issues and they worked, then i tried that december issue again and got the same error. is it gone for good?

trying to download gamepro as listed here http://www.retromags.com/magazines/category/usa/gamepro/gamepro-issue-53#.UwimKvldWmu , then i get that error message.

i'm not asking anyone to troubleshoot me as i've already emailed them. i just wanted to know about your experiences. how many magazines have you been able to download without problems? i ask because yesterday i downloaded 4-5 about 150 megabytes each and then i reached the limit. Today i got one magazine about that size and them i couldn't get a 2nd because i was already at the limit.

Somehow I forgot to mention Diehard Gamefan was a good source of information on Japanese games.

I'll also add the bias of Nintendo Power. At least for me they seemed too favorable of their own games. I guess that is to be expected. But for me they lied about Mortal Kombat. They acted like it was just as gory as the arcade version. They never once mentioned the removal of blood from the game (from what i could tell). The replacement censored fatalities were described as some all new finishing moves that were exclusive and cool.

I want to get some of your opnions on what might have been the best VG magazine and what were some bad things about some of them. I'll start with my own opinions. Game Players: A hilarious magazine! Nintendo Power Pros: Frequently gave stats on which games had password or battery save features (i wouldn't buy most games without these features). Sometimes the information was wrong about which gaves lacked saving, though. Cons: Excessive crap. ~14 pages of comics, celebrity interviews, etc. Often wouldn't even give a new game release one picture's worth of mention. GamePro: Subscribed to it for a year but not sure anymore what stands out about it. I guess it's reviews were a little more detailed than EGM's but I'm not sure. April Fools issues were cool. EGM: Don't remember any standout features or lack thereof. Diehard Gamefan: Wikipedia says the screenshots were higher quality in this mag because of the paper. I don't remember this myself. If its true they should have advertised that fact as if I would have realized this I might have even chose it over Game Players.

Yeah really. None of these magazine companies seemed to have bothered with a digital copy. None of the magazine staff seems to have kept copies for themselves. If i never get those back issues of Game Players magazines I'll go crazy! I need to laugh at that magazine again. Indeed

for me i just wanted to relive the memories of gaming enthusiasm i had when i read them many years ago. how about you?
