I think it's temporarily spoiled the market, another auction just went up for a sealed issue with starting bid at $60!

#GamerGate 1995 #retrogaming memories - we end the issue with some controller #pr0n tune in tomorrow for some CGW! https://t.co/tylSI92HMP

PC Accelerator was mass market enough for me to wait but it sounded like a plan to put the whole run to bed following this auction. Oh well.
-
Damn! I didn't bid on anything, but even issue four had a little last minute war.

What caused the gaming magazines to die out?
VGBounceHouse replied to magazine_guy7's topic in Magazine Talk
Arcade Express from Electronic Games in late 1982 is the first weekly I can remember. There was at least one more in the early '90s but I can't seem to find a copy so the name eludes me, but I think it was from Ziff Davis. -

I can finally announce my project, Videogame Pavilion. Today is the soft launch which means it is fairly feature-incomplete. However you can get a sense of my take on videogame magazine preservation: http://vgpavilion.com I will be "web-izing" all the magazines I archive and cross-linking all of the products in the hopes of providing another way for fans to enjoy the history of gaming while also serving the needs of researchers and historians. You'll find pages dedicated to photos and screenshots and other media strewn throughout the issues with an emphasis on interactivity including mobile swipe and pinch-zoom. The launch features two issues: Vidiot, Issue 1, Sep/Oct 1982: http://vgpavilion.com/mags/1982/09/vidiot/ Video Games, Issue 3, December 1982: http://vgpavilion.com/mags/1982/12/vg/ I'll be back on scanning and editing this week. Next up is Electronic Games from December 1982. I hope to have the archive prepared for RetroMags by the end of the weekend at the latest. Leaving a note here for myself to remember to include the RetroMags site image in the archive.

What caused the gaming magazines to die out?
VGBounceHouse replied to magazine_guy7's topic in Magazine Talk
EGM actually had their own app, I still have a bunch of issues downloaded from it on my original iPad (which serves mostly as a clock) which I'd have to grab to see whether those issues were the same as print ones of the same years. If things are different or they're not available in print I guess I have a lot of screen-capping to do at some point lmao -
I do it your modern-method way, but because of "glue barriers" I take my time. You notice how once you've broken the inside away from the cover there often appear to be sections/groups of pages, and at those break points the glue sometimes bled onto the page? You can't always get a clean tear at that point, so I bend the spine back and forth, lay it flat under a board with a brick on top for a while, then come back to it. I guess an hour might be on the high end like that December 1994 EGM since it was over 400 pages, but since I'm going for as-close-to-perfect facing-page ad spread recreations I suppose I'm being over-cautious lol

Cool! I'm hoping I can announce my soft launch tomorrow, once you see it hopefully things'll be more obvious in terms of what I'm aiming for in terms of preservation/archiving.
