Sean697 work in progress?

[Sean697]

Next up is EGM Issue 20. I really dont know if its the most requested issue of the ones I have to scan, but it has 20 votes so its up there. Plus I want to finish off all my stapled mags and be done with them already and this is the last one I have. Also this will be the last missing issue from the first 25 (29). So yay I guess.

[E-Day]

So yay I guess.

Please, temper your enthusiasm!

Excellent, Sean.

I also vote for preserving EGM issue 32 - March 1992.

So I am al last done scanning EGM 20. Got to the middle of the magazine and am missing pages 51-66. This is equal to 4 of the 2 by 2 sheets in the mag. Now I took the staples out myself so I am kind of surprised. Can someone who has this issue check to make sure EGM 20 actually has these pages? And if they do scan them for me? Alternately mail me the issue I can scan and mail it back. I even looked around all over in case the somehow slipped out of the magazine but didn't find anything.

[Sean697]

I found this thread. https://community.retromags.com/topic/9570-egm-20-misprint/#.V0U0MZBpah8 It verify the content was never there and it was a misprint. So the magazine is complete. That's good enough for me,

[LamondFan90]

Good to hear! Looking forward to EGM #20

[Sean697]

Excellent, Sean.

Debound already and scanning.

Oh my word! Awesome.

Sean, almost forgot, is that 1992 Video Game Preview Guide in the copy of EGM 32 you have?

[parallaxscroll]

This is what I was talking about.

[Sean697]

No I don't believe so. Unless it was a loose copy or something.

Yep, it's a loose supplement.

[parallaxscroll]

Yeah.

I had interest in it because EGM had a very early look at NEC's 32-bit system in development.

I could be wrong but I think the following came from either the main issue itself, or the supplement:

btw a great deal changed with the hardware by the time the NEC PC-FX released in Japan in late 1994.

uh, someone's selling the supplement for $25 on ebay.

[Sean697]

I'm not sure what issues that came with.

[E-Day]

I just scanned four EGM supplements, but none where the 1992 preview guide. I did the 1994 one, the 1993 Sports Directory, the Portable Gaming Guide (looks like it is from 1992), and another preview guide that looks like it's for 1993.

[parallaxscroll]

Aww shucks, was hoping that one would be among those you had. The one from 1993 is great though!

[Sean697]

Just an update. Going to go back to working on EGM 32 on Monday. So all summer my son has been out of schools and we've had vacation and I had a work trip. Basically no free time alone to work on it with so much going on. But my son goes back to school on Monday and I'll have time to finish this up. Currently maybe 1/3 of the way done editing. Hope to have it out by next Friday maybe? Then Inshould be able to start cranking these out again full time this Fall. Slither IO also has definetly sapped my free time as well as as Pokemon GO.

Thanks Sean!  Looking forward to EGM #32. 

[gwmac223]

Thank You Sean for your hard work.

[LamondFan90]

Yes, thanks Sean for all of your hard work, which is so very much appreciated.

So for real I actually got back to editing today. Right after my last post my Ancestry.com DNA test came in. And was working for a week or two on building a family tree. And my car broke down and had to shop for a new car. But ya made some progress on my editing today.

[E-Day]

Is that Ancestry DNA test worth it? I have been eyeing that for a while and wondering if it would be better than the other options out there.

I did 23andme, might do Ancestry this year when the tests go down in price.

 

[E-Day]

23andMe seems far more thorough, but it's also $250 in Canada. The ancestry one is $99 right now. I created a family tree on there already, so I think their test will be my birthday gift from my wife.
