I am terribly sorry if my post sounded disrespectful. That was definitely not my intention. When I saw the skater guy in the cover I thought "hey, that is Skate Or Die! That is the second game I got when I got my NES!!!" And then I clicked on the link to see if the post had a content summary, so I could see what was inside without having to download the magazine. I just wanted to confirm it really was Skate Or Die. And the post had a content summary (you are awesome!!!) and it really was Skate Or Die! I kept reading the whole thing and then... you see... I think this is what might have thrown me off https://cdn.imgchest.com/files/e4gdca5rar4.jpg That purple guy over there, in that screenshot, that one showing the world he has at least two fingers, seems to be saying "ads are extracted" Now, just because there is an animated image saying that the ads were extracted, it does not mean that the ads were extracted. But you must confess, that is fu..... confusing! (got it? David Chappelle reference? I bet you got it, alright :) ) But I forgive you. And not only because I am right and you are wrong and I am just that awesome, but because you are right too. Which is kind of impressive when you think about it. A paradox of sorts. The problem here is that when I posted, I read only what was written on this post here. Because, well, I was talking about this post. And on this post here there is not a single mention of ads. Well except that purple guy. I think. I could be wrong. I'm often wrong. In fact, I'm not even 100% sure I am right here. I'm probably wrong again... but at this point I'm just going to keep writing, for two reasons: 1. so you do not mingle me with the 20 chars per message social media crowd. 2. it is probably really ticking you off knowing that you really weren't THAT RIGHT in the first place. Even though you kind of were. But let's keep that last part between us and don't tell that to you, so I can continue to annoy you. Anyway, I really hope I haven't offended you. It was never my intention. I know you are one of the top contributors here, and have been since I first discovered this site I don't know how many years ago. Please understand that I really appreciate all the work and effort and hours you've spend giving us awesome scans for free. I really do. And just so you know how far back my appreciation for your efforts go, I hope you are not still using CDisplay to read the mags. See? I still remember that discussion! And I remembered that because it's been a while since I'm trying to find some free time to propose a change that will save Retromags a lot of money. I was going to do it this weekend but, in respect of your efforts and general awesomeness, I'll give you and your CDisplay a couple more days. PS: you are awesome and I am very thankful for everything you've ever done for this site.

I never have figured out twitter and other social media posting. Short and succinct just isn't my style. So when I present blocks of text carefully explaining things, it often has the opposite effect - people's eyes glaze over and the meaning is lost. All I can do is provide the information, I can't make people read it. But yeah, I don't see how what I wrote could be misinterpreted as "ads are missing." My scan is 100% complete and is technically the only one of the two that can claim that distinction, as the other was guillotine cut, meaning that part of the gutter side of each page (however inconsequential) ended up in a pile of clippings on the floor, never even making it to the scanner. What I was pointing out was a slight variance between the two magazines which were scanned. Although otherwise identical, there is a single advertising page which differs between the two - on page 122 of my mag, there is a Toys-R-Us advertisement for an NES, while on the other scan, page 122 is an in-house ad for subscriptions to Game Player's. TLDR: read the download post again.
