New Releases – 13/04

Given Newsfield's consent to allow us to distribute their magazines the next release is Computer Gamer issue 04 with a great look at the coin-op world. They also give us their pick of the conversions to home computers.

The Legend of Zelda: Wind Walker gets a rave review in the next magazine release, that being EGM issue 165. While this may possibly be the last issue of EGM released here fingers crossed I may get time to scan a couple more magazines prior to going on holiday for a month next week.

New releases – 10/04

Today's first release is something a little different.

Microsoft's first foray into the console market, the Xbox was released in 2001 and finally discontinued in 2007 with the release of its successor the Xbox 360 therefore in my mind it can be classed as a retro console the same way as the Gamecube can. As such magazines for this system can also be classified as obsolete and I am therefore happy to release magazines up to 2005 at this point in time. today's release is Xbox Magazine (Aus) issue 22 featuring a good look at Project Gotham Racing 2 & Dino Crisis 3.

The next release is Amiga World issue 23 which looks at some of the changes in AmigaDOS 1.3

New release – 09/04

Another newly scanned issue of Run is now available for download. Issue 31 introduces Commodore's new C version of the C-64 and the 1581 disk drive.

Today's next release is another of Newsfield's The Games Machine. Issue 23 looks at Midi and delves into porn BBS's. This issue was also one of the worst I have seen for crooked pages so some significant cropping and correcting had  to be applied to this or else you would've been reading pages on a 15 degree angle

Lastly, Big K issue 11 gets the scanning treatment, the result being a much better quality magazine than the one currently floating around the torrent sites. Incidentally, this was the second to last issue to be released of this particular title. They came and went pretty quickly in those days ….
