  1. More information about "Play Online No.021 (March 2000)"

    Play Online No.021 (March 2000)

    By kitsunebi

    Big news: Duke Nukem Forever is going on sale March 2000, y'all!  😀
    It always amuses me to see the USA sales rankings for PC games that month.  It really drives home how important the Wal-Mart shopper was to PC game sales when you see that the top 10 games include Deer Hunter 3, Cabela's Big Game Hunter 3, and Barbie Generation Girl: Gotta Groove. 😅

    Tech Gian Issue 022 (August 1998)

    By kitsunebi

    ADULTS ONLY
    I've uploaded the CD-ROM that came with this issue HERE.
    The manga section in the back is read R-L and your CBR reader must be switched to Japanese/Manga mode during that section in order for facing pages to be oriented correctly if using 2-page view mode.  If viewing single page view mode, no adjustments are necessary.
    Speaking of, a new manga serial replaces the one that had been running in all previous issues, and thank god, as the previous series was pretty gross, in my opinion.

    Comptiq No.249 (December 2002)

    By kitsunebi

    This issue came with 2 CD-ROMS, which I've uploaded to the Internet Archive:
    Disc1
    Disc2
    I remember being excited to use the second disc when I was creating the Comptiq database, since it's got a history of the magazine with lots of covers.  But IIRC it ended up not being so useful...maybe they were too low-res to use?  I forget. 😅

    As one would expect, the usual info on Final Fantasy III, Dragon Quest IV and the like.
    But the real news here is the food report where we learn that Jolt Cola has twice the caffeine but tastes disgusting, and Teddy Grahams are not only cute and delicious, but healthy, too!  Whatever happened to Teddy Grahams...

    Included at the very end of the archive is a scan of this issue's supplement - a "shitajiki" (下敷き).  These are basically hard sheets of plastic that people put under paper when they're writing to prevent impressions from forming on the next page of paper underneath.  No Japanese schoolchild will be without one.

    Famitsu Issue 0084 (September 29, 1989)

    By kitsunebi

    This is the last issue of Famitsu I have from the 80s.  Though I normally work with Japanese mags, I just scanned a USA mag from the same year (1989) and it's shocking the difference in quality of the paper stock used.  Japanese mags from the 80s - thick and white to slightly off-white paper.  USA mags - tissue-paper thin and yellowed/browned with age as all get-out.  (Nintendo Power perhaps being the exception - that mag had some $$$ poured into it, I guess.)

    Included 2 supplements which can be downloaded here:
    Street Fighter II - Ougi no Shou
    Far East of Eden (Tengai Makyou): Fuun Kabukiden - Nesshou Strategy Guide
     
    Years ago someone PMed me here and asked if they could pay me to buy this mag and another from a used book website in Japan and scan them.  They were interested in the coverage of Castlevania: Rondo of Blood that featured in both.  I told them no, I didn't need any more mags to scan.
    And then for some reason, I bought them both anyway, with my own money, and scanned them.  This is the first of the two.  If that person who wanted them hasn't already gotten them from where I first uploaded them, I hope they're still around to see this (I don't remember their name).
