Just chiming in that I haven't forgotten about this. Been traveling for work for the last week, and will be back in town on Tuesday. I'll take some cover photos of the issues I own that are missing from the T&T database. I also have a DieHard GameFan #1 that I'll take a cover photo of for the database.

I don't have a scanner unfortunately, but I do have a decent camera. I'll take a picture of both issue 2's cover, and once I locate my copy of #50, I'll take pics of that as well.

I was the winner of the auction of the first 3 issues. Here's some help regarding numbering from those issues: Vol 1. Issue 1 - Spring 1994 (Raiden from MK II cover). On page 6 at the bottom: "Tips and Tricks is published quarterly by L.F.P. Inc." Vol 1. Issue 2 - Summer 1994 (Street Fighter II cover) Vol 1. Issue 3 - Fall 1994 (Mortal Kombat II cover) On the bottom right white square of the cover it reads: "Display until Jan. 10, 1995" I believe the quarterly issues stopped at issue 5, and then it went to Bi-monthly for a few months, then to a typical issue a month mag. Issue 50 of Tips and Tricks (Street Fighter Alpha 3 cover) has a really handy list in the back of the magazine detailing all 50 of the first issues, as well as showing covers for all of them. Unfortunately it's in black and white. That is essentially the best resource to document the first 50 with correct months and dates. Completely random supplement to this post, but I'm really happy to see a miniature guide to one of my favorite games of all time in issue #1. That game being Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
