I recently played Super Double Dragon

Good choices. The Sega CD had a great Final Fight 1 version.

Are there any other American Gaming magazines still in publication or was Game Informer the last one?

oh I had no idea. Well, RIP Game Informer.

thanks! So has game informer finally decided to lift their prohibition of people scanning their magazines?

Ah I see that now.

As the title says it looks like Tips & Tricks doesnt have a June 1995 issue according to the database. Did they just do May and then take a break for the month of June and then pick up for July? or is there a lost issue 005.5? Anyone know?

I see what you mean, whatever scanner theyre using it renders reds to be pinkish. In addition to fixing the overall color cast to be neutral you would have to fix those colors as well for these scans.

I took a look at some scans from the VGH collection. Their dpi is okay, though for archival purposes I prefer higher dpi. There is some misalignment and the color balance is a tad warm - easy to fix though. The magazines I looked at seem to be in good shape in terms of condition. There is a subtle moire pattern in their scans, not too noticeable but if you pay attention you can see it - that means they downscaled their scans without using a downscaling option which incorporates sinc/lanczos kernels that eliminate that. If youre trying to downscale an image scan that has halftone, ie a magazine, then a linear or cubic downscaling interpolators are trash. I definitely recommend all scanners adopt a sinc/lanczos interpolator down scaling option as part of their editing routine when resizing scans so there is zero moire pattern. color casts, misalignments, blemishes can be fixed in editing, but you cant remove an ugly moire pattern once its there..I may scan my own remaining video games magazines.

How do I access the VGHF scans?

We are super close to completing Video Games: the Ultimate Gaming Magazine! I have issues 64 and 65 in mint condition and I'm thinking of grabbing #73 off ebay. I can complete the set with my efforts. But if one of our scanners already has 73 and is planning on scanning that I will refrain from buying it. Also, is anyone already in the process of scanning or editing #64?
