  8. I found one. Volume 2 Issue 1 August 1992. I'm not sure who scanned it but I edited it. It will be back on the site shortly
  9. I am not sure if they were ever edited and available directly on our site. I can check my computer tonight to see if I have them. If so I can upload them so they are restored. If not, then I think we're all out of luck for the time being.
  10. Everything in the "000 In Progress" is being worked on by me. If you decide to edit something, either put your name in the folder name or move it to the In Progress folder so I don't start working on it too eventually.

    Q64?

    Some corrections to the above based on the Display until date on the cover as well as the masthead inside the magazine. Text in red denotes a change: 1997 Vol 01 - Summer - San Francisco Rush 1998 Vol 01 - Spring - Quest 64 1998 Vol 02 - Summer - Mission Impossible 1998 Vol 03 - Fall - Fighting Force maybe 1998 Vol 01 - Winter - NFL Quarterback Club '98 1999 Vol 01 - Winter - South Park 1999 Vol 02 - Spring - Gauntlet Legends 1999 Vol 02 - Summer - WWF: Attitude / Gex 3 1999 Vol 03 - Fall - Army Men 2000 Vol 02 - Winter - Toy Story - is there a volume 1? Who knows; Volume 2 is what's inside the magazine
  12. To touch on this, while going through and creating index tables in the Publication Database for the US magazines, I came across some I could not create because they do not exist in the Magazine Database. Need Magazine Database Entries Atari Connection Beckett Cheat Codes Tip & Tricks Video Game Codebook These will be hard to do as we don't have solid info on the number of issues or when they came out and how frequently. Atari Connection has an index table listing when issues came out, so that should be straight forward. To keep things together, below is a list of publication database pages that need index tables (or have incomplete ones) Need Index Tables in Publication Database Beckett Cheat Codes Computer Games (1983) - incomplete table Dangerous Waters Game Player's PC Strategy Guide - incomplete table Game Players PC Entertainment - incomplete table Tip & Tricks Video Game Codebook
  13. Hopefully they count the covers in their page numbers. I know GamePro and Compute! do not, and it's annoying to change the numbering on the scanned files so that the file number matches the page number. I'll be auto-processing the Computes and the other stuff that was in that batch (PSExtreme, Q64) tonight, and then manually fixing up the covers later this week. I think I'll wait for the first 100 scans to be done before I start looking through each issue to manually fix what needs more attention.
  14. I'll only do that if you rescan all those pages on a higher end flatbed scanner, one page at a time.
  15. So a year later, how are things? The short answer: much, much better. There are still the odd typos here and there, but the awkward paragraphs and quotes are gone. Author Brett Weiss has a contribution in every issue, usually an excerpt from a book, and the articles have gotten better and more interesting. The November 2018 was especially great, with the very first article about the making of Mortal Kombat. That was followed up by Sega vs. Nintendo, which went over the affect Mortal Kombat had on the two consoles and the Congressional Hearing that occurred at the end of 1993. Two good articles in one issue is great, but this issue kept going. Right after the Sega vs. Nintendo article was an article by Bill Kunkel, aka The Game Doctor, about his experience as an expert witness during the trial between Capcom and Data East. Several pages later is an article about Microsoft's Arcade Room for the Xbox 360, and what could have been. There are still a lot of articles on conventions, arcades, and pinball as well as home console gaming. The magazine has improved 10-fold since the first issue. I would encourage anyone who has a few extra dollars every couple of months to subscribe to the magazine. We all like print magazines, and we all like retro gaming magazines, and this covers both of those likes.
  16. So a bit of news about RETRO. Apparently issue 13 (the horror cover) got 500 issues printed and were mailed out summer 2017. I was charged for it but never got it. Issue 14 is supposed to be mailed out around now. I contacted them about my missing issue and told me that they would send both together. They also informed me of the following: So it looks like they have some sort of deal with some websites where you get the magazine when you make a purchase from these sites. That will make it increasingly difficult (and expensive) to get a print copy of this magazine going forward.
  17. That's Spoonman's site. He's a member here, though I haven't seen him in a while.
