  1. You can't trademark a '+' so just change the color. I'm pretty sure gamers will know what it does if it's green on white or whatever.
  2. The very last thing I need is new hardware. I have a backlog like 2 years long. But after seeing the shortages with the Classic (don't have) and PSVR (got one) I figured why not PO and make up my mind later. I have to get one someday for the collection. The night of the presentation Amazon and GS weren't taking orders. As a backup plan I put one in at Best Buy just to get me on a list. Apparently Zon and GS went up early morning and were sold out. Luckily some time later Zon reopened and I placed another order so I can use some giftcards. I hesitate to cancel one in case either store has to turn me away. I hate scalpers and don't care to do it myself.
  3. It's tough guessing a product with little information to go on. Especially when we're all familiar with different shareware discs. I thought the game sounded familiar but it doesn't look like something I've played.
  4. A point I agree with. I almost never buy a game without SP knowing that some day the servers will close and MP ceases to function. Games should never turn into coasters. I understand BF is weighted towards MP but there's still some value left on the disc. Since I tend to wait for sales there's more time to see their plans for DLC. Paying $30 makes it easier to get your moneys worth. And yeah physical versions are a priority for me.
  5. Ah a fellow UT fan. I wasted too many years on that one. I still enjoy those games once in a while but they wouldn't be the majority of my gaming. The old group broke up and like everyone else is saying it gets tiring playing with randoms. It's good as a break in between whatever else I'm playing. I don't have any friends on my list that play the same games I do. Or because of my backlog I'm late getting into certain games. Had to play things like Borderlands, LBP, and RB3 by myself.
  6. There were many discs like that so it won't be an easy search. The link above only shows the disc, do you know what that looked like or would you be more likely to recognize the cover? Here's a more direct link. https://archive.org/details/cdrom-101onlythebestgames4 Let it scroll through the images to see the cover. Remember this is volume 4 so while it might not be the exact disc it means you need to find one of the others. The one exception is it doesn't fit your dates. I'm almost certain this is where I tried Keen and the Scorched clone might have been called Tank Wars?
  7. Eew, you play CoD? Even knowing that it hasn't stopped recycling content for many years and there is SO much better content out there? Personally I wouldn't devalue my collection by getting it. That goes for Activision as a whole. They haven't produced a good game since canceling GH. Anyways no I always play the SP. That's what a game is for. MP is tacked on to too many games where it doesn't belong. Never touched online modes for things like Bioshock, Uncharted, TR, Dead Space, Mario Kart, etc. As a collector I don't like online-only games because they eventually become useless. Unlike Kit though I do play some things online.
  8. The 101 part rings a bell. According to the third 'here' link above - https://archive.org/details/cdbbsarchive?sort=titleSorter, halfway down the page, you might be looking for something called 101 Only the Best Games. They were packed with shareware. I couldn't say which disc in particular you're looking for. I should have 3 of those around here, got them at a show way back when.
  9. I think this is the same disc as the one I just mentioned. Thought I'd post in case you folks wanted to see pictures. Not like we need to buy it or anything. http://www.ebay.com/itm/GameShark-Sampler-for-PlayStation-PS1-PS2-from-2001-Brand-New-Sealed-/162180745225?hash=item25c2b9c809:g:9JcAAOSwqBJXVF59
  10. It's my last physical mag now that PTOM and NP went away. However it was my least favorite. There was too much PC and XB crap it seemed. There should be digital versions as they give you the choice when signing up for another year of their program. Odd thing is subscribers 'should' have access to both. I get the print one because it's good to get away from the screen once in a while but I'd feel better knowing these could go in the recycling because they're backed up online if I need to check something. I'm not going to pay for both.
  11. My friend rented a PS1 with TM and brought it over which was my first exposure to both. Shortly after when I realized I needed a PS1 of my own I learned TM2 was available so it was one of my first few games (and I still have it). I didn't care for the changes in 3 and 4 but the series returned to form with Black and the last version for PS3. It's a shame it didn't catch on because I hate to think it's the end of the franchise.
  12. I found my copy of the demo disc that came with this mag.
  13. Well, Amazon is a store so they need the title for their inventory numbers and in case they don't have a pic of the item. Slightly different case. Sounds like a plan. If you find time to write something up I can give it a run through to see if it needs any further clarification. I wasn't aware of an update so we'll see what that does. Maybe it'll fix my ability to use the shoutbox.
  14. Sure it all sounds so obvious now. I just happened to find the upload button in my gallery before the one in the normal gallery. I think right before I started I had asked for some clarification on the process but that was regarding image sizes and other settings. So yeah I agree it could be made a little clearer for anyone new. Exactly. I would think some of the info was redundant thanks to the image containing the name/date. I've not used the search feature... Yeah yeah, I'll try to shuffle them around one of these days. Don't feel you have to do it. Just know that before I'd go and rename/move all those files I want to get these GI covers scanned and keep working through this neverending stack of unplayed games.
  15. I learn as I go. I was glad to help fill the PSM collection as I'm only missing the first 10 issues. The 3 recent NP's were found only because one was an alternate cover and I came across 2 blanks in the database. Now that someone has expanded the GI category I can add those covers when I get the chance. Maybe I'll get around to moving the stuff I already uploaded to their proper galleries. Or maybe I should let you do that so we don't end up with everything being uploaded twice.
  16. When I say I haven't DL'ed it means I really haven't explored everything you host here. I saw an upload button but didn't realize it was going to a separate area, my personal gallery. It still gave me the required numbers to fill in the covers in the databases so who knew? In other words when I added the covers I didn't see there were more sections that weren't being filled in. Because I started with an empty gallery there wasn't anything saying how to name them. If that makes sense. That's why I kept it short. "IS100" is a lot quicker than typing out full names and dates. And I probably uploaded like 50+ covers. My backlog of games is why I haven't moved on to scanning whole mags. Then I feel bad getting rid of things you might be able to use so I never get around to clearing out these piles of mags.
  17. Ah, I see it now. Can't simply delete but I can overwrite it next time.
  18. I've only checked the gallery to see if certain mags with alternate covers were preserved. I still never downloaded anything from this site so I've never checked to see how things were named. When I scanned those PSM covers I just put the issue number to make it quick. In 'my' gallery it made sense. It was when I sent the alternate issue of NP 215 I realized that when I add the cover to the database it wasn't filling the same info on the gallery. And yeah if the naming wasn't consistent then I'd be stuck anyway. What we need is a tool that names them automatically. How are they sorted exactly? With names that big (compared to sequential numbers) I'm wondering how it works in your software. Did you manage to delete that big image from the gallery? That was my bad.
  19. I must look clueless half the time. Every couple months I claim that I'm about to thin out my magazine collection and then I end up playing games instead. Today I'm wondering why the shoutbox doesn't work. Also why I wasn't able to upload things. Then realized I forgot to resize my pics and have screwed up the gallery as a result. Speaking of gallery, oops. A few months ago I completed your collection of PSM covers. Only now did I notice that 'my' gallery is separate from the individual magazine galleries. The covers are in the database but the gallery for PSM ends early. I'm hoping there's a quick way to dump my gallery into the official ones or if someone is going to need to rename and reupload everything by hand.
  20. I'm having some trouble with the site. I don't know when it started, maybe it's when I upgraded for FF 47 a few months ago. I can't use the shoutbox. It's not Adblock, this site is whitelisted. I don't have any other errors. *I forgot to resize my images... Derp. Problem 2 isn't a problem now. **One went through and it's so big it's screwing everything up. Can I delete it from here or do I need to ask for help? I renamed it 'delete', should be easy to tell which one.
  21. Not sure how you named those files, I just go by issue number when I clean up the scans with 'Shop. They'll be in my gallery and then we'll see about getting them into the right places. No it only allows one because I asked this once before. Thanks RD. I'm aware GI isn't going to be preserved here but at least I can provide some cover images before finding the mags a new home or recycling them.
  22. I see I have 3 more for the NP section. I can upload and edit 2 of them but the last is an alternate cover for issue 215. Where do I put that?
  23. I've said a bunch of times I want to unload some mags and clean up around here. Maybe this will be the time. I know we can't archive GI but we do have some covers in the database. Before I decide what to do with the mags I would upload just the covers for the last year or two. The database only goes to Jan 15 and I need up through this month. Does someone want to add new entries or are we going to consider GI off limits to honor their request?
