Looks like issue 111 is also missing in our sets, it was mislabeled.  It's actually the Codebook 10th anniversary.   This one will need to be found also.

This was one of the ones I managed to find on IA. Unsure where it was sourced from, unfortunately, because it's the only one that isn't labeled with said source.

@kitsunebi very glad to see more people contributing!

Yes, you weren't around in the dark days of yore when we were lucky if we had a single new release every 2-3 weeks...Every new scan was an event, and people would come from miles around just to gaze upon it and let it touch their child for a blessing. 

And back then, we didn't have a bunch of different scanners always patting each other on the back and clicking "like" on each other's scans (there was no "thanks" button) in order to make us feel appreciated, oh no!  No, all we had was @TOLUST, dutifully "liking" our new releases all by his lonesome, a sole spark of warmth to stave off the biting icy wind of ingratitude blowing like a tempest out of the gaping empty hearts of the downloading masses. 

Then one day a passel of angels parted the clouds and glorious rays of ethereal light cascaded down upon E-Day as they presented him with a new scanner and from then on it was daily releases as far as the eye could see, HALLELUJAH!

Which is to say I'm also glad to see more contributers, amen.

...Where the heck was this kind of team spirit when I first joined RM 10 years ago

 

I think it is the snowball effect. When you have 200+ issues of Nintendo Power that need to be scanned, and only 20 are done, it looks daunting.

Once the projects are on the flip side, and people see, oh snap.....we only need 13 more issues of X to have a complete collection, it is much more enticing to join into the process and see it finished.

It took me a long while to acquire these early issues off ebay. I would regularly check.

Good job!  I can understand that a lot are hard to find!

While at it, I have been looking desperately to PC Gamer issue 02 and 06.  So if someone come across these magazine let me know!  I will scan them!
