Actually at some point (Probably not next gen, but the gen after) we won't see any form of media at all!

The way things will work at this point is you will only buy the license to the game! (Which could be purchased online using your console or from a games store like Electronics Boutique) You will not actually have any part of the game on your system at all.

I will use Sony as an example here (As they are the ones that have talked about this in an issue of EGM)

What you will buy is essentially a box and controller

The games will only ever be on Sony's machines at there end

When you purchase a game it will be added to a list that your box has in a menu when you turn your console on!

When you choose a game the game will boot for you on Sony's puters and all the required info for picture, sound and controllers etc... would be sent to your box!

Before saying that this is a bad idea, think about the one major positive to this

You would in theory never have to upgrade to a next gen console again as when sony decide to upgrade there puters you would automatically be upgraded at the same time!

This would also wipe out piracy once and for all, meaning that developers get the money they work hard to earn (Possibly meaning that smaller publishers would start taking risks again

Anyway, that is my insight to this argument! What does everyone else think about this idea

If anyone has not tried it before, you must try Uni-rally (uni-racers in some countries) for the SNES

It was created by the same team that brought GTA to the world, it is an absolute classic and I say everyone should try this classic

@ES is taking up some of my time at the moment, but as soon as I have some free time I will get to the scanning of Issue 119

This is just a plain matter of priorities for me as @ES is a huge priority for me as I am learning a lot of things to do with programing from working with it!!

EGM 122 is ready for download now as some may have already noticed

I have decided that I am going to scan Issue 119 next!

I would have gone to the next one in order by going to Issue 123, but I feel the need to go to a smaller issue

(EGM 123 is about 260 pages)

I hope you all understand the reason for this and look forward to seeing Issue 119!

I have recently noticed that the thank you pages don't always act the same in different programs.

In CDisplay and ComicRack for instance, which were the only two I tested on Windows the pages show up at the end of the magazine, as they should.

But it seems that with several other programs including Comicbooklover and FFView, they show up as the first page, due to being named -x-x-retromags-x-x-.

So it might be best to rename the thank you page to x-x-retromags-x-x from now on.

I hope its not a problem but I just name it as the last page number

eg.. Mag with 120 pages

Page 001 - Page 120

Page 121 = Thank you page

I have taken a couple of days break, but am going hard on EGM 122 right now as I type this!!

So far I have done 150 / 244 pages!

edit:- EGM 122 will be ready for download within the next 24 hrs!

My vote goes for EGM Issue 3

OMG!! EGM Issue 3! Can't wait to see it scanned!!

I subscribed to EGM on a 2 yr deal about 4 yrs ago (But due to the fact I was living in a caravan park (Thieves) at the time only ever received about 6 of the 24 issues!!)

As a co-developer on an emulation project, these are my choices!

SNES = Snes9x

NES = Nestopia

GB/GBC/GBA = Visualboy Advance

Game Gear/Master System/Genesis/32X/Sega CD = Fusion

N64 = pj64

Playstation = pSX

Dreamcast = nullDC

CPS3 = CPS3

CPS1 and 2 = Final Burn Alpha

Playstation 2 = PCSX2

Gamecube = Dolphin (Need 64Bit OS though)

Arcade = MameUI32 or 64

No problem mate!!

I have now scanned and edited 75 pages out of 148 of EGM 121!!

Look for it within 24 hours!!

EDIT:- I have now finished EGM 121 and have uploaded it to the downloads section

Next comes EGM 122!!

Just thought that I would start a topic to show people the progress I make on scanning and editing!!

I have just finished scanning and editing EGM 120 (10th Anniversary issue)

Thanks to E-Day for creating the NFO and uploading it to the site for me!!

Next I am going to be scanning and editing EGM 121

This is a great issue with articles about Resident Evil games that did and DIDN'T make it to market!!

Look forward to it everyone!!

Thanks to Philly and meppi for his scanning and editing guide (Learnt a lot from the guide mate!!)

Progress on EGM 121 is just the front cover scanned and edited!!

HELLO EVERYONE, BOY DO I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU ALL

I stumbled on this site about 18 hours ago and I have some bad news and good news for you all!!

BAD NEWS FIRST

Up until a yr ago I had EVERY issue from 114 up to the current issue!! The reason I don't anymore is cause I had about 3 yrs worth stolen from me at random spots in my collection(I was getting up towards 9 yrs without missing an issue:( )

GOOD NEWS

What I do still have I am going to share with you all!!

Out of the issues listed as missing I have tonnes the are needed and I am going to scan the lot in my spare time for you all, only issue is I don't really want to de-bind any of them so tips on scanning them to satisfaction with out de-binding them will be greatly appreciated!

The missing issues I can supply are 114 (Have to see how it scans as it is SLIGHTLY water damaged, Everything else is in mint condition)

120, 121 and 122

133 - 149 + every issue in-between

151 - 161 + every issue in-between

Once this site gets up to issues 187 and up as the newest that are accepted I will be able to keep the newest issues perfectly up to date as I have none missing after this point and I purchase the magazine religiously every month still!! (I have been doing this for nearly 10 yrs now)

In total thats another 32 issues that I can personally add to the collection as of right now

With some awesome sequential runs!!

1999, 2001 and 2002 sets will be complete!!

I am a new member that has a tonne of issues of EGM

114 Jan '99 - 123 Oct '99 + everyone inbetween

133 Aug '00 - 163 Feb '03 + everyone inbetween

Let me know if these are wanted as I have no idea what is and isn't needed!!

Also have a tonne of issues of an Aussie gaming magazine (Hyper)

Starting from 65 Apr '99 right through to the current issue

(I know you don't touch mags less then 5 yrs old but that still leaves a few yrs worth at the start of my collection!!

Well I stumbled upon this site and Downloaded EGM #1

Woo Hoo!

My name is Shadow (aka Glenn), am an Aussie and I am a massive fan of EGM

I actually would have every issue of EGM for the past 10 yrs but 3 yrs worth were stolen from me a yr ago!!

These are the issues I do have

114 Jan '99 - 123 Oct '99 + All inbetween

133 Aug '00 - 163 Feb '03 + All inbetween

All of these are in mint condition except the first 6 or so and issue 150 got written in by me circling games I have in the top 100!!

If someone wants me to scan any of these let me know and I will share my collection

I also collect an Aussie gaming magazine called Hyper and have every issue from 65 Apr '99 right through to the very current issue!

If any of these are wanted as well I would be more then willing to share them!!
