Game Player's PC Strategy Guide Vol. 2 No. 2 (May-June 1989)
By kitsunebi
*RESTORED kitsunebi edition!*
This is my new edit of marktrade's original scan and edit which is available in 600dpi at the Internet Archive. Marktrade's scan was previously uploaded to Retromags, though that version does not appear to have received any additional edits aside from being resized closer to 300dpi and having the scan of the spine removed.
What I have tried to do with my edit is to breathe some life into the scan and restore what had been lost to the ravages of time. In many cases, the primitive photography used in the game screenshots demanded that each screenshot on a page be edited separately to more accurately restore some of the colors that may not have been captured correctly even when the mag was fresh off the presses. I hope you will agree that this is the best the mag has ever looked, but if you prefer the naturally aged/yellow look, marktrade's perfectly fine original scan/edit can be found HERE.
Here are some example pages of my edit compared with marktrade's edit (which is identical in appearance to the one previously made available here):

Games for Windows Issue 15 (February 2008)
By kitsunebi
*kitsunebi edition!*
Nothing wrong with the older scan of this issue previously made available, but I scan everything in my collection regardless, and I do feel that my version offers some improvements. Most of those improvements are due to better debinding, which allows for better editing. If you start with a guillotine cut in the debinding process, there's nothing you can do when editing to account for the part of the page you cut away. As always, my scans are first debound with a heat gun, to allow for the entire page to be scanned. This allows two-page joins to be edited together more seamlessly.
Other differences include whiter pages and a higher resolution (3200 px vs the older scan's 2200).
I've tried to show some of the differences with animated gifs this time. Even though they're alternating back and forth, it should be easy to spot which of the two is this new, improved version, especially if you look towards the center of the join. 🙂
*you can click on these gifs to see them in a larger window:
And some joined pages of Games for Windows actually have a printed overlap, where the same part of the image is printed on both pages. In this case, the older scan (despite having some of this overlap area cut away during debinding) still has part of the image appearing twice, whereas this newer scan has more seamlessly edited the pages to remove the doubled overlap:

Electronic Entertainment Issue 18 (Vol.2 No.06) (June 1995)
By kitsunebi
*COMPLETE* kitsunebi Edition!
The other scan of this issue available here is very good (albeit partially incomplete), so this is not a slight against that scan - I simply scan everything in my collection for my own sake. It does offer some improvements, however, so if you want to decide if this new version is worth your trouble downloading, I'll try to highlight the differences below.
Higher resolution (3200px high) than the older scan (2200px high) Whiter pages Debound with heat gun to get a complete scan, so every page has slightly more information on the gutter side Images that cross both pages have been better joined A complete scan has been made of an advertisement which was partially blacked-out in the old scan An 8 page fold out advertisement is included (missing from other scan) subscription card inserts are included (who cares, right? Not me. But they're here if you want them) Here are some comparison screenshots to help illustrate the above points (new scan is shown on top):
I don't know what's going on with the older scan of the below ad - looks like part of it is covered with something? Weird... But now fixed!
Highlighting some of the gutter joins:
Notice the album title: "To Bring You My Love" vs. "To Bring Yor Love" LOL. (Little fish, big fish, swimmin' in the water. Come back here, man, gimme my daughter.)
And of course there's the 8-page fold-out ad which was missing entirely from the older scan (smushed into one pic here for your viewing convenience🙂)
