    *kitsunebi edition* Here's the part where I let you know what's different about this file from the previous one available here in case you don't want to download them both to compare: The images in this scan are 3200px high. (The other scan is 2200) This scan was debound with a heat gun so that the entirety of the pages could be scanned from edge to edge. (The other scan was debound with a guillotine cutter, cutting off part of the gutter side of the paper from each page) This scan was edited with the two-page viewing option in mind, so facing pages with connected images or backgrounds have been more carefully joined. Pages are whiter, colors less saturated. Which version you prefer may be a matter of taste. I didn't scan the subscription card inserts (maybe I didn't even have them, I can't remember.) So if you want to try your luck at printing out and sending in the postcard to subscribe to Game Player's Sports for Kids, you can get them from the other scan offered here. Incidentally, the subscription cards in the other scan were placed EXACTLY where they appeared in the original mag, which actually interrupts one of the only two-page-spread ads in the mag, making it impossible to see both pages of the ad side by side, so if you DO want those cards, I suggest moving them to the end of the archive. For anyone who may have downloaded this mag from my Internet Archive account, I've "remastered" the pages somewhat from that release, so I'd recommend replacing it with this one (the file at IA will be updated with this one whenever they allow uploads again) There honestly aren't very many two-page spreads in this issue, so on most pages you won't even notice that the older scan has had each page slightly cropped, but for those who care, this scan should offer a more satisfactory viewing experience in two-page mode. Examples of color/center join differences: This scan is shown first (on the top). Older scan is shown second (below).

  3. Ah... the very first game magazine I bought in my life. I still remember everything about it. We had gone to the beach during the end of the year school break and, after seeing an ad for this mag on TV, I went to the nearest bookstall and got it. Awesome!

  4. Nice job mate on the double page, everybody learning new things every day about scanners. I was trying to get a magazine onto the webstie from last years.

  5. Yes you can see this is a huge difference in quality. And it is good for a magazine like this because IIRC they used VERY cheap paper stock, even cheaper than other cheap paper mags. And did anyone else think that the ink they used in this mag made it smell bad? Maybe it was the chemicals in the paper? GamePro in the summer of 1994 in particular had a very odd scent. The paper quality seemed the same as their prior releases, so I always assumed if a mag smelled bad it was the ink. So what I am saying is be thankful as fastidious and exacting as Kitsune is that he did not find a way to synthesize the odor of these magazines as well

  13. This brings back memories! I actually had this magazine, but I didn't even have a Playstation yet. It's funny in hindsight to see the promotion of Chrono Trigger without the mention of Akira Toriyama. Dragon Ball had it's first whatever episodes dubbed ending with Oolong making the wish on the Dragon Balls and the gang deciding to split for now. Dragon Ball Z was being broadcast around this time too! It just hadn't hit critical mass in American audience's minds yet because of the censorship and editing down of the first 67 episodes down to 53. So while it was in existence around this time in the States, it wasn't known enough to tout Akira Toriyama's influence on this game. Now it's a case of obvious recognition, and in my childhood mind I thought based on the look of the lead characters, that this game was somehow related to Secret of Mana. I think it was over a year before I even got Chrono Trigger as a Christmas gift. Mortal Kombat 3 I think is best remembered for that highly kiddified cartoon adaptation, and the mess created with the different versions of Sub-Zero.
