Because I love looking back on the stories, technology, layouts and all that of the gaming mags I grew up with. Also something about just having them in a digital format knowing i can look whenever I want instead of getting to that stack of retro mags in my garage.

All the guides except for EDITING are 404...just a heads up.

I'm on Steam...168 games and i've only played maybe a handful. Damn Summer/Winter sales!

Wii U over the summer.

unfortunately a fake story.

If you're on Facebook, search for "rummage" or "yard sale" pages for your area. There's a bunch of pages set up for my area where people sell stuff, you meet up and buy/sell. Always see some NES/SNES/GENESIS stuff on there.

I am actually trying to set one of these up myself. I have three Raspberry Pi units so far.

1) Emulation Station Raspberry Pi

2) Time lapse Raspberry Pi

3) Retromags Backup Raspberry Pi

It is pretty cool what you can do with these little $35 computers. But it is much easier to set up an Emulation Station on a PC, but then you wont be able to put the guts into a broken NES shell and impress your friends and family.

Yeah, crazy how things have changed in a relatively short amount of time. It feels like yesterday that I couldn't wait for the launch day for Sega Genesis and now i can play on my tablet/phone/pc/Pi...i love technology.

Not that it really answers your question, but there is lot of bad politics wrapped up in the RasPi staff. Wouldn't buy one even with counterfeit money.

Interesting...was not aware of that. Is there some link about that? Would be interested to read.

Cool..thanks Sean.

Would love to see what they would do with these games with today's tech:

Mercs

GI Joe

Rastan (i can hear the music in my noggin now)

TMNT

Ikari Warrior

Twin Eagle (Had such great music for a 1988 arcade game)

Thunderblade

Probably more but that's what come to the top of my head right now

Heard about Pi a while back but never really looked into until recently when I heard about Emulation Station for it. It's pretty sweet. Still trying to figure out how to set up filters/scanlines and all that but its nice for a portable retro machine! I'm always looking on eBay for new-ish in box SNES/NES/Genesis but then I think "why bother spending a couple hundred when i can just use the emulators"..but there's something about just owning the original system and having it.

It's not bad, but it could use some work. I have more patience for this stuff. I can always do the editing for you on this issue. If you have the original unedited files, I would prefer working with those. If not, I can see what I can do with this version.

For people who want to scan but don't like the editing part, there are people like me around .

Is there a section here giving a rundown of how to scan/edit the mags to upload? I'm a nerd and would probably enjoy doing this stuff also.
