quick question: how can i win Election '84?

[E-Day]

By playing President Elect or Campaign '84, of course!

Thank you, thank you, thank you E-Day for scanning those missing GamePro mags! Your efforts are much appreciated!

[E-Day]

Found out while scanning that several pages have parts cut put. I may not be able to release it if I can't get replacement scans.

[E-Day]

Since I don't want to release Electronic games in it's current form, I scanned EGM 2 Issue 13 as well (scan #52). It will be released soon as it is sitting with the rest of the scanned magazines waiting for release.

Up next will be Tips & Tricks Issue 28 April 1997 (scan #53).

[E-Day]

Tips & Tricks 28 is in the bag.

Up next: Game Player's Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games (Volume 1) (scan #54). This might take a while since it's 272 pages.

Having browsed this topic a couple of times, I am amazed by the work and dedication you've put into this preservation project, E-Day! Kudos!

[E-Day]

Thanks!

Here is the cover:

[E-Day]

Game Player's Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games (the first volume) is currently uploading to the FTP, and weighs in at a hefty 420 megs. Up next I am going to do Volume Two (scan #55). It was previously available on the site, but could use a better scan. That one only has 256 pages

[RetroDefense]

Thanks, E-Day - really looking forward to reading this! As I mentioned in the Shoutbox the other day, early Game Players are something of a guilty pleasure of mine. I know the screenshots were horrible and the commentary was never very critical, but they'd cover a lot of games in that thin newsprint and had a real knack for covering the less popular, sometimes obscure games with equal indifference.

Cover of the next scan:

It's not perfect, but I spent over an hour patching it up. The cover was in rough shape.

[E-Day]

It was a long process, but the Volume 2 Encyclopedia is finally done.

Up next: Tips & Tricks Issue 092 according to our Cover Gallery (labeled 90 on the cover) August 2002 (scan #56).

[E-Day]

Tips & Tricks August 2002 is complete. As part of my new process, when saving the edited pages at the standard 1600ish pixel width, I also save each at full size for future-proofing. This will be done with all future scans.

Up next: Tips & Tricks Issue 093 according to our Cover Gallery (labeled 91 on the cover) September 2002 (scan #57).

[E-Day]

Tips & Tricks September 2002 is now available.

Up next: Tips & Tricks Issue 097 according to our Cover Gallery (labeled 95 on the cover) January 2003 (scan #58).

[E-Day]

Tips & Tricks Issue 097 is completed and available.

Up next Is Video Games Underground Issue 4 November 2002, a magazine I know nothing about. (scan #59)

[E-Day]

Video Games Underground Issue 4 November 2002 is now available.

Up next: Video Games Underground Issue 5 January 2003 (scan #60).

[E-Day]

Video Games Underground Issue 5 January 2003 is now available. I just learned that this magazine only lasted nine issues, and after 5 issues, they shrunk it down to a digest-sized book.

Up next: PSM CodeBook 2002 (scan #61).

Cover coming soon.

[RetroDefense]

I don't say it often enough, but thank you for all of your scanning work, E-Day!

That's odd. I indexed both issues of Video Games Underground today but they didn't appear in the site-wide "Magazine Database" sidebar as other magazines do.

Not a big deal - the indexes saved properly and everything - but a minor glitch in the system? Just fyi.

My daughter really enjoys Tips & Tricks pencil puzzles, E-Day - thanks for posting those.
