Game Player's Strategy Guide to Nintendo Games Vol.2 No.3 (June-July 1989)

*kitsunebi edition*

This is the place where I usually wow you with comparison shots with the older scan available here, showing off some of the two page spreads.  I can't do that this time, because...THERE AREN'T ANY!  Nope, just single pages the whole way through. 

So this is what this download will get you:

• Higher resolution - this scan is 3200px high, while the other is 2200.
• Whiter pages
• This mag was debound with a heat gun in order to get an edge to edge scan, while the other was debound with a guillotine cutter, cropping part of every page.  However, as I mentioned before, there are no two-page spreads, so the cropping on the other scan is barely noticeable since it was mostly just white space on the gutter side that was cropped away.  So the improvements to this scan in this regard are of minimal importance.
• To anyone who previously downloaded my scan from OGM or the Internet Archive, this version has been remastered/improved and those sites will be updated with this version once I'm able to do so.

Unlike some of the other scans I've done my own updated version of, there isn't anything flawed about the older scan available here.  Which you prefer may be a matter of taste, but this new scan is still noticeably different enough that I feel it's justified offering it here for anyone interested.

This scan is on the LEFT, the older scan is on the right.

Oh, and WOW.  While I was comparing my scan to the other just now, I noticed that one of the pages is completely different.  Page 122 of my scan is again on the left, while page 122 of the older scan is on the right.  Perhaps there were regional variants?  Or maybe my copy of the mag was sold at Toys R Us stores?  Who knows, but the fact that there's an unexplainable and confusing variant of a Game Player's magazine shouldn't be too surprising to anyone familiar with their first several years of publications.  At any rate, now you know you need to download BOTH scans of this mag if you want your copy to be 100% complete BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!
