I Have A Huge Variety Of Magazines Here.

[nirv]

I have been gaming for 25 years and I have collected a bunch of random magazines and many of them are in really good condition ranging from 1992 to 2002. Most of them are in the 1994-1997 range. I took a couple pictures of a few random ones. I don't have a scanner, but I'd be willing to send these off to someone for free as long as you pay shipping.

I'm going to be moving soon but I will bring them with me and decide what I will do then. I'd need a zip code because these weigh a lot. I don't know if I'd have the time to scan them all. I did throw a lot of them away a long time ago and I feel dumb for doing that now.

Let me know how many magazines you have, and see what it would cost for USPS Media Mail to 22309

It's probably about 120+ at this point. I can take more photos after I move on July 1st but I won't disappear. I definitely love my gaming mags and want them preserved properly. I'm as nostalgic as they come.

I didn't disappear. I noticed you don't have many Game Informer mags - I happen to have quite a few. I'm actually going through your current scans to make sure I don't send ones that are already finished.

Going through them right now. I found a Gamepro January 1994 issue that you don't have scanned, but the cover is missing and a few pages a few pages are a little haggard - other than that it's pretty good. Do you still want it?

Also, it seems your scan of Game Players Encyclopedia Volume 3 is not volume 3 because I have volume 3 here and it shows Sonic the hedgehog on the front and is about Genesis games.

I have a S.W.A.T Pro March 1994 also without a cover.

Here's what I have that isn't listed in the collection. I either need to buy a scanner myself or send these to someone.

Oh man, that GamePro issue. Isn't that the one with the report on the CES where they debuted Donkey Kong Country? I've been looking for that one for a long time.

I have GamePro January 1994 and if you want, I can put it on my scanning list to be next. I should have GamePro May 1992 uploaded later on tonight. Some people want to hold onto the physical copies while I would rather scan them and throw them out. Digital will always preserve better than paper anyways Plus I need the space.

I found a scanner in my closet actually. It's a piece of crap but it should get the job done. It's a Microtek 4850 but I lack a power cable for it so I'll have to pick one up this week.

Is there an IRC channel for Retromags?

Yup, I searched CL this morning - a lot. Most scanners were pretty crappy and I even did a search for some of the fastest and found a good Cannon one but then I remembered I had one in the closet. I'm going to try this one out and if it's bungled or tightens my jaws, I'll grab one off CL.

I'd like to point out that I'm on the Minonova torrent right now and I found out that I'm constantly uploading at 185 kB/sec probably for the next few weeks or until it's done, then I'm putting all 32GB on Usenet so if anyone wants to jump in and help, feel free.

Yea I upload between 12am and 9am, So far I have done the following....

Mininova = 56.5GB

[censor bypass] = 41.7GB

It seems as though after I got the 4-5 people on [censor bypass] up to 100% , that even seeding 9 hours per day is not increasing me much....but thats ok because I am trying to get the Mininova people up and running. Hang in there guys, whats the highest percentage so far?

91% from some *.pl address. He's only uploaded 61MB total. It's pretty safe to say he's going to bail when he reaches 100%.
