Computer Games Issue 192 (December 2006)

"kitsunebi edition" is a label reserved for scans I release which are superior in some way to scans already available here, but in essence, ALL of my scans are "kitsunebi editions," since I always do my best to make my scans look as good as I can. That doesn't mean that all scans require the same amount of effort, of course. A mag in good shape printed on quality paper will be a much faster edit than a damaged mag printed on cheap, yellowed paper stock. And paper stock doesn't come much cheaper than these early Game Player's titles. So this certainly took as much time and effort to edit as any other "kitsunebi edition." But it's not really the aged paper that makes editing these such a hassle, it's the primitive and poorly reproduced screenshots throughout. This mag is from the era where magazine screenshots were made by pointing a camera at a TV/monitor, and without a carefully controlled environment, every single photo seems to have a different hue and brightness caused by the varying lighting conditions under which it was taken. This often necessitates editing each screenshot on a page separately, since, for example, something meant to be white is yellow in one screenshot, light blue in another, and a dull grey in a third. The end result isn't going to fool anyone into thinking this is a high budget mag from the 90s, but it's still the best this issue has ever looked.
