I'm looking for this magazine specifically. For download or buy, either one.

I ran across an old post here dating a year ago with someone who had it but i'm not sure if they do anymore. Much help appreciated. In return, I have a ton of issues of Ultra (and regular) Game Players I can probably scan.

Here are the magazines I was talking about:

I have no problem scanning them at a time but i'll be willing to donate probably 1/3 or half for just that one magazine if its in good condition. That's how bad I want it.

I will ask around and see what I can find with some friends here that have quite a bit better Gamefan collection than I do (and their's are in unread condition in mylar protective sleeves, the whole 9 yards, like they are golden age comics or something).

Great! Any luck?

^Bump.

I am still serious about my offer.

Is it a smaller size mag with a mostly brown cover that has Crash Bandicoot and Lara Croft on the cover?

[Jimmy Zappa]

Everything you said except Lara Croft. It's the picture I posted in the first post.

Still asking around. Got a lot irons in the fire right now but still looking for you.

Just curious as to why you need that issue so bad. Do you have a letter to the editor in there?

[Jimmy Zappa]

Nothing like that. It has some information and artwork about a game called Wild 9 i'd really like to read again.

Plus I used to own it, for nostalgia's sake.

Here's the image since the old one is now gone.

*sigh*

my offer is still there. the magazines are just sitting around.

[triverse]

Thanks for the bump, believe me, no one that I know of here is just sitting on that magazine.  It is an extremely rare magazine and I would love nothing less than to be able to release all of them, if I had them.

[Jimmy Zappa]

yeah, so is the second issue. but the second issue I can buy on eBay anytime for a buy it now, the original is harder to find.

I regret not buying it on this one website that had it for $20. thought I could find it for cheaper.

I've got this issue, as well as the little MegaFan preview pamphlet with Resident Evil on the cover. I really don't have the time to scan the entire magazine, but I could scan the Wild 9 feature for you. It's only ten pages or so.

Nice!!

I would rather have the entire magazine for nostalgia's sake but that indeed would be better than nothing. Would you also be willing to part with it? If not, that's fine.

I finally got around to scanning the Wild 9 preview, and it's up on Rapidshare. Let me know if you have any problems downloading it.

I'm willing to sell the issue, especially if you plan to scan it for everyone. Shoot me a PM and we can discuss it further.

I wish I checked back sooner! The file no longer exists. Its okay though. I just bought a copy that was floating around eBay, after months and months of looking: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220523735153&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Regardless, I see you guys don't have the later issues still. I posted a link to a 25 issue BUY IT NOW lot in the eBay section. And once I save up for a better quality scanner, i'll finish scanning my issues (the ones I started on weren't very good) and give back to the community.
