Next Generation Issue 022 October 1996 is out! 258MB Mega Upload Hotfile Also, this hasn't been confirmed yet but I may be receiving a donation of the remaining issues after the eBay purchase which includes 6,19,28,35 and 37-48. Should this donation come through, Retromags® will have the entire Next Generation™ collection from 1995 to 2000!

I just purchased a BOATLOAD of Next Generation magazines on eBay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160452449618&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160452451570&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160452450841&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160452452691&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT This will fill a large gap of missing Next Generations. We're still missing issue #6 after this purchase.

Nope. Not working there either. Funny.

Hey square, your message box is full and I can't send you anything. Issue 13 will be up in about 2 hours.

Next Generation 012 December 1995 is out! 263MB Thank you to Retromags for allowing these scans to be up on the site. It doesn't go unappreciated. I want to make myself absolutely clear so there's no confusion: Do NOT listen to me if I ever tell you to take these scans down (which I won't) because these are no longer mine. They belong to the preservation community. That means you. Feel free to do with them what you will. Want to remove the Retromags banner at the end and claim it as your own? Fine. Want to burn it to a DVD-R and play "Hide the Next Generation Magazines" with your girlfriend? That's completely up to you. All I hope for is that they don't disappear so at least remove the disc and clean it off when you're done, sicko. By the way, just so you see the effort I put into this, take a look at this before and after shot of the front cover of this issue. It took some huge Photoshop gymnastics to clean up the nooks and crannies. Thanks to Squarepusher for sending me another cover of this for reference!

All of my Next Generations now have Megaupload CBR link and from now on will use it primarily. I'll still have a backup on Hotfile...

Next Generation 011 November 1995 is out! 236MB

I think issue 09 looks pretty good but yeah, I'll probably do it then. I kind of like the challenge. If you look at issue 010 I just uploaded, the cover's NEXT GENERATION logo has a thin red border... well, the letter "T" in "NEXT" had a price sticker covering it almost completely and I had to do a lot of magic work to remove it... that took like 30 minutes!

I don't like that Hotfile only allows limited downloads per 24 hours for people so I would prefer to upload elsewhere. I just tried Megaupload and it's giving me an unknown error.

I updated the file link. Uploadbud.com only allows 100MB and lower to be used. I'm supposed to be getting access to some Megaupload account or something I take it in the future? That's what I'd prefer.

Next Generation 010 October 1995 is out! 159MB

Next Generation Issue 008 August 1995 is out! (115MB) By the way, in case you haven't guessed, I'm missing Issues 06 and 07. I never even owned them and I can't remember why.

The New Pornographers - Use it. From the masterpiece Twin Cinema (2005).

Next Generation Issue 005 May 1995 is out! http://hotfile.com/dl/47039052/664193f/next_generation_005_may_1995.zip.html

Oh man I loved Pilotwings 64 at the time. I finished that game 100%. That Nessy hanglider level was pretty difficult. Thanks gladiator.

Oh holy CRAP I've never even seen the cover gallery. That's such a huge tease because I want all of those Gamefan magazines (I threw all mine away like a pan-face) and now I'm drooling over here. If anyone has Gamefans, you had better start sharing or I will go Bakersfield chimp on you.

Next Generation Issue 003 March 1995 rescan is out (150MB): http://hotfile.com/dl/46440472/41d5f5a/next_generation_003_march_1995.zip.html On a side note - anyone use an HP scanner have any advice on how to fix the black pages? They come out very strange and bungled and it's aesthetically displeasing to look at and I haven't figured out how to make the blacks deeper without losing text brightness. It has a lot to do with that crappy HP scanning software that's unavoidable.

Next Generation Issue 002 February 1995 Rescan is up: http://hotfile.com/dl/46259213/e349ed8/next_generation_february_1995.zip.html

Introducing Next Generation Issue 001 January 1995 rescan! This is a re-release of the issue that was released for the first time on Retrogamers.com just a few days ago and I urge everybody to destroy your original copies as it did not comply with any recommendations of veteran scanners. This new scan features higher quality, more vibrant color, straighter pages, 1600 width, clean up of the front/back and most of the pages are a lot cleaner. On top of all of that, it includes the official Retromags thank you graphic -- all that for 136MB! -- 82MB lower than the original! Thanks to E-Day and everyone for your patience in my trials and tribulations of putting up my first scans here. If this release meets your standards, I'll redo issues 2 and 3 this week. Let me know! Next Generation 001 January 1995 Rescan (136MB): http://hotfile.com/dl/46202886/fc6ed0a/next_generation_january_1995.zip.html

Next Generation Issue 004 April 1995 now available: http://hotfile.com/dl/45950370/d274231/next_generation_april_1995.zip.html It was already done scanning when E-Day mentioned the construction paper under the lid of the scanner trick so I'll probably have to do this one again, too. Are there any other tips and information you have? I'll take all of the information now because I don't want to redo anything and I really don't want people having to edit my scans - that really takes the wind out of my sails.

Well, I'm not entirely using just the scanning software. I'm actually using 3: the HP Scanning software for lighting/color adjustments, Hypersnap 6.80 for the cropping/saving as a JPEG, and then Photoshop CS5 for touch-ups such as removing dirt or any stains. It could change based on advice from expert scanners, but check the results on Issue 04 coming soon. I'd be happy to upload directly but I'm not authorized to do it: [#10CCS3] You do not have permission to view this page.
