[chris85]

@E-Day I scanned the full set of Games for Windows awhile back. I figure i post them here for you to see. I hope this helps.

Those will take quite a bit of editing work to spruce them up. I may take it on as a project once I run out of things to scan.

[E-Day]

So it turns out that GameNow Issue 18 (April 2003) has 4 pages missing, so this one will be put on hold until another copy is found or someone can scan those 4 pages for me.

[E-Day]

So I am done editing everything previously scanned and have enough scans done to be able to release something everyday until May 5.

Next I will be prepping the stuff I listed on January 26 as well as a strategy guide donated by @Rando1975. Since no one has said they are already working on something from that latest list I will go ahead and start getting those issues ready to scan.

That will be the scan count up to 1,261.

[Areala]

I quiver with anticipation at those EGMs and PC Gamers.

Well that's what I thought! I've got tons of them downloaded, but wasn't sure if I had all of them that were available here.

[E-Day]

I have updated the list a bit Issue 27 of SWATPro is being worked on by @Argus so I will not be scanning it. I have also included Issues of EGM that can't be released until next year and their 2 Ultimate guides to the PS4 and Xbox One.

[E-Day]

A little update. Scanned and ready for release in 2025 are:

EGM Presents 2015 Video Game Buyers Guide
Electronic Gaming Monthly Special Issue #04 (Spring 2015)
Electronic Gaming Monthly Special Issue #05 (Summer 2015)

I also just released Electronic Games Issue 28 (October 1984).  I scanned this 10 years ago but never released it because 6 pages have small sections cut out. I was hoping for replacement pages or a replacement issue, but I haven't seem that issue come up in auctions in all that time except for an insane amount of money. So I decided to release it as is because having something is better than nothing in my opinion.

VideoGames & Computer Entertainment Issue 43 (August 1992) will also be coming later this month. This was scanned in 2020 and held back because it is missing two pages. It might be a long time before this issue shows up again. It is not in Phillyman's inventory, so it will go up with the two missing pages until a new copy can be acquired.

Other than that I have a large pile of earlier issue of GamePro that I will be rescanning as everything in the below list is 13 years or older except for one issue which is 10 years old.

GamePro Issue 004 November 1989

That will bring the scan total up to 1,369 (nice). And that doesn't include any non-gaming stuff I scan for RetroMAGS.

[E-Day]

Adding GamePro Issue 23 (June 1991) and GamePro Issue 44 (March 1993) to the list.

Edit: Heck, let's add the first two GamePro issues as well since they are pretty aged.

[E-Day]

Scan count is now up to 1,384.

I do have an intact copy of VG&CE August 1992 I'd be willing to donate to the cause if you still need those two pages. I also have extra copies of all the issues missing from the archive if you need them. (33, 35, 37-39, 42-46, and 49) Happy to donate any and all to the eventual completion of the archive.

You are a scanning machine!!!!

[StrykerOfEnyo]

Please let "Max" know that we appreciate his donations very much, especially one member that has a huge boner for Ultra Game Players . Eh... maybe edit out that last part. And thanks @Rando1975 for the guides. I also agree -- you're a scanning machine. Here's to your number 1,500 coming soon.

[JonnyCGood]

Thanks for the Soul Blade GameFan book scan, as the series is pretty high quality and hard to find. They're pretty slick looking and have nice art. Especially hoping the RE: Director's Cut book is scanned one day (though most of the most interesting parts have been scanned already). Their Re2 book has the same cgi promo-art that you've seen a thousand times already, so it's not that interesting.
