The magazine arrived today; I shall start scanning it shortly. It's only 64 pages, so it shouldn't take too too long
-
Nothing beats owning the original game; unless that game costs a pile of money to get.
-
I have the game with the manual, but all my games are packed away. Otherwise I'd scan it for you.

THe only problem with Wired is that a lot of the articles in the second half of the magazine are boring, and all of them are extremely long. A few months ago they wasted 8 pages on some skank who is famous for being famous on the internet and nothing else. 1 paragraph for that do-nothing tramp would have been enough; not 8 pages.

I find that Hardcore Gamer has the best layout and design of any of the magazines. All other magazines have a similar layout, with boring designs and lots of white backgrounds. HGM is actually interesting to look at when it comes to the layout. While I am not crazy about their content and lack thereof, I find their design and layout to be top notch.

That one sounds like Tubular, the 2nd Special Star Road level. Awesome was the 4th level. Everything was ice; it wasn't so bad until you got to the ledges where the one invincibility star was and all the jumping fish. It was the timing and jumping required to hop from icy ledge to icy ledge that made it hard, especially when the ledges became quite small. And there were pipes hanging down from the sky preventing you from flying through the level.

Butter Bridge in Super Mario World was a huge pain. As was part of the last fortress in the Valley of Bowser. But I think the hardest for me was Awesome on the Special Star Road in SMW.

Best light gun game ever: Gangster Town.
-
I rented it. It was a 5 day rental. I played it for 45 minutes the first night because I wanted to see if if my 2.5-year-old would be interested. He wasn't and no one touched it again after that first night. That "game" is a complete waste of time and energy.

Brands of the World may save you time next time. They have a gillion logos in EPS format, so you might not need to recreate your icons and stuff next time
-
I think it is worth redoing as well. I am curious as how the scans came out blurry to begin with (apart from the area near the spine.
-
No problem! I wanted to scan something again (even though scanning is a pain without taking the issue apart), and I'd like to have some of the old issues in my hand in print form. It's win-win for everyone
-
Just saw GamePro Issue 8 March 1990 on eBay; saw that no one here had it, so I grabbed it. It will be my next scan when it arrives. And because it cost me $20, I won't be taking out the staples and slicing it up
-
Probably because of the cost of distribution. The US is 2000 times larger than the UK, and 2 billion times larger when you consider that US magazines are also distributed to Canada. Hardcore Gamer magazine is high quality, and seems like it`s also low circulation, and it doesn`t seem to be doing well; they stopped publishing monthly with the December 2007 issue and only publish quarterly now. And the magazine is still thinner than the monthly issues were. the only thing we can do is DESTROY THE INTERNET.
-
I managed to get coins for two games last night, even though I tried with 5. I have 2 years before the first survey can't be done anymore, so there really isn't a rush for me. Instead of using all that crap-butt Web 2.0 stuff on their site, they should have kept it simple.
-
That is what Hardcore Gamer Magazine is doing. It's taken a lot of inspiration from GameFan, and has the nicest page layouts around, but it's tanking. At the beginning of the year, it went from monthly to quarterly. Quarterly! A game magazine, in this day and age, publishing only 4 times a year. It's like a company going under and laying a ton of people off to try and save themselves. They don't really do reviews anymore either. The latest had only two reviews. They focus on articles mostly, and previews. I also can't find it on the newsstands. But I can download it for free from their site. And EGM will be the one who caused their own demise. That magazine has been terrible for years.

A new magazine wouldn't last. The current ones are struggling as it is. Too bad the internet won't go away.
-
THat's a lot of money for outdated information and such, but owning the original originals would certainly be something. I don't know if that money would be made back, but the opportunity to reprint issues and release them as volumes in a nice little box would make a lot of fans of the magazine happy. BUt not for that much.
-
That's okay, because in a year or two you'll need that overkill power. Buying something that is sufficient now won't be sufficent in a few years. you'll have better luck being able to keep your graphics card for a few more years is you get more than you actually need at this moment. I have read nothing but good things about the Radeon HD 4850 X2 in Maximum PC and Computer Shopper magazines. If I were to get a new card and could afford more than a low-mid range card, it would be one of the new Radeon cards
-
I wanted to get an R4 card, but I honestly have enough games to play as is without adding all the roms that exist!
-
Piss poor luck on your part. When I subscribed this past fall, they advertised a Mario Kart Wii guide. I got my Mario Kart Wii guide no problems.
-
Super Princess Peach? I would remove that from your list. It's apparently way too easy. Rent it. You can probably get through it in one sitting. I had about 15 games on my Christmas List, but after Toys R Us had their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale and I ended up getting 11 games, I removed them. My wife had already gotten me a game before that too. Now I'm REALLY backlogged!
-
Even those; I'm not a big fan of them. They look nice though.
-
I dont care about shooters. Metroid and Call of Duty are enough for me. I want more platforming. I want a 2D Mario compilation!
-
Excellent. Apart from shooters, the Wii lacks good RPGs.
