Computer game review

[Sean697]

Anyone interested in scanning computer game review? I noticed Defunct games posted a pic with two sealed copy's of the January 93 issue with Dune 2 coverage.

I know he has some holes in his early EGM collection and was thinking of offering him one for trade. But I'd like to know if anyone wants to scan it first before I make an offer. I'd mail it to you.

I've been scanning them recently, but currently there's no section in the download manager for them.

Before it became "& CD-ROM Entertainment" CD-ROM Entertainment was a supplemental magazine.

I have no special desire to scan them myself and if you scanned them that'd be great but will you also upload an ISO of the disc as well?

Awesome. Was not aware that you had scanned these. I don't want to be a bother, but maybe you could make a thread here including links to all the mags you've scanned that aren't available here and just update the post whenever something new is added? Maybe its just me, but I've always found searching the Internet Archive to be a chore due to disorganized results.

I kept thinking I might improve those scans but they're fine for now, I guess. Always experimenting.

I think it's better to just update individual missing-magazine threads but in the meantime you can always check my upload page for updates.

See, that's what I'm talking about. Looking at a list of things at the Internet Archive is like looking into a sea of chaos. I think my brain just likes things to be organized in neat rows.

it's a I to difficult

I don't know what you mean there is no section in the DL manager for them. We have a few issues on the site already.

Can you link me? I'm referring to the section of the site where Retromags hosts files, the "Downloads" section. When I go to upload a file, I don't see a category for Computer Game Review.

I could have sworn I saw it this morning when I looked on my phone. But sure enough its not there. The preserved magazines are your archive.org linked ones.

Sorry, I was looking all over for them, wondering if maybe they were in some hidden directory or something, but even my Elvish eyes cannot see them. I must conclude they do not exist. :(

Just so you know, I banned you for 30 seconds for giving me a headache with that block of text. I hope you've learned your lesson.

Dunno if we're talking about the same thing, but I was suggesting that it's up to you to save the day and create the necessary download section.

It's not that hard to read on my computer, but I realized later that it's nearly indecipherable if I look at it on my phone. Either way, if you got a headache trying to make sensible order out of the misaligned text then I was successful in recreating the experience of browsing the Internet Archive.
