E-Day's Work In Progress

[E-Day]

Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 133 August 2000 is now available.

Up next is Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 134 September 2000 (scan #228). Mine has a different cover. Does anyone know how many covers this issue had?

Err let me check. Frank Cifaldi recently released the high res image files from this issue in Twitter he ripped off a Zip disk from Nintendo he got from EGM. There were I think 4 files including this picture. What one do you have?

I think the 2nd set of pictures is from the earlier Pokemon issue. I've inly seen one other cover of this one so far with the bird with the colorful feathers Pokemon(Sorry I don't know their names). So it seems like maybe only 2 covers? One for gold and one for silver.

Here is a link to the eBay item with the gold cover. (Above is the Silver you posted)

I have the one in that eBay listing, the gold cover with Pokémon #250 Ho-Oh.

An image search of Google only seems to bring up two different covers. If I could get a larger image of the cover I could include it with my scan. Anyone have this Silver cover on hand?

Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 134 September 2000 is now available.

Up next is Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 135 October 2000 (scan #229).

[E-Day]

Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 135 October 2000 is now available.

Up next is Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 136 November 2000 (scan #230).

[E-Day]

Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 136 November 2000 is now available. This darn issue had two double-sided posters with it, which annoyed me. It also accounts for part of the 530-meg file size.

Up next is Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 137 December 2000 (scan #231). This is the last EGM in my possession.

[Sean697]

Love the posters though!

[Sean697]

I imagine you'll be relieved to finally work on something else for awile. But if you run out of stuff and I don't get there first, I always have the 2001 issues.....

[E-Day]

I have a box of Nintendo Power and GamePro to keep me going for a long while.

Anyhow, Electronic Gaming Monthly Issue 137 December 2000 is now available. That is the last of the EGMs that I have. What's next? I am not sure. A little break, and then maybe I will scan the six issues of InterAction that I acquired.

[Sean697]

Just wanted to thank you for scanning all those EGM;s I sent. It totally made getting rid of my mags worth it. You've made a huge, huge dent I. The EGM collection in the last year.

[E-Day]

I currently have a copy of VG&CE from March 1990 that has no covers. The version we have could use an update. If anyone has the issue and could scan the inside and outside front and back covers, I could get a new version of this issue on the site.

[E-Day]

After I scan the VG&CE with no cover so I can rid myself of the paper pages, I will scan the six issues of Sierra's InterAction magazine. After that, it's a toss up between the pile of GamePro issues I have, the pile of Nintendo powers, or a the pile of selected magazines donated to me by pauljustice. They include several issues of Super NES Buyer's Guide, EGM2, Fusion, and some others.

My vote is for the paulijustice donations. We've got plenty of GamePro and Nintendo Power to go around. Let's start filling in some of those more niche titles.

I have that particular issue of VG&CE but my cover is actually rougher than the current scan. (VG&CE covers never did hold up well.)

I'm inclined to agree with Areala - would love to see more niche stuff.

[parallaxscroll]

I'd love to see some of the Intelligent Gamer and Intelligent Gamer's Fusion magazines, and VG&CE issue 20 September 1990

[E-Day]

Pauljustice's donation included four EGM supplements, which I have added to the site, along with a GamePro supplement guide for Resident Evil 2 (scans 232-237).

Up next will be the six issues of Sierra's InterAction magazine. They are all scanned and I have started editing the Fall 1994 issue (scan #238)

[RetroDefense]

Glad to see those supplements preserved, E-Day - thanks!

[fudgedanger]

That's a great issue to scan up, game pro seems to be one of the easier ones to find in good shape, its funny considering how the magazine definitely enjoyed a younger audience but I guess popularity helps a bunch.

[E-Day]

Issues 21 to 24 of InterAction are now available (scans #238-241).

Up next will be issues 25 and 26 (scans #242 and 243).

[RetroDefense]

E-Day, you should plug those supplement scans on the home page.

Supplements, man - the unsung heroes of the magazine world. No love, no respect...

[parallaxscroll]

I agree!

[E-Day]

The last two issues of InterAction that I have are now up.

Up next: Super NES Buyer's Guide Issue 5 February 1993 (scan #244)

[E-Day]

Super NES Buyer's Guide Issue 5 February 1993 is now available.

Up next: Super NES Buyer's Guide Issue 8 July 1993 (scan #245)

The cover would normally go here, but it's not available until I scan it. I have some label glue to remove first

That one is coming. I am doing them in chronological order . Then I will replace a couple of the scans that are already up.
