Wizard: The Guide to Comics #1 (https://www.oldgamemags.com/forum/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;id=13406) is online. Interesting how quickly this mag evolved, content and production-wise. In less than a year it would look almost like a different mag. Dunno how many of OGM's members are into comics (the way comics sell these days, it could literally be NONE of you, statistically-speaking), but comics, not games, are what I spend my free time on. The ad on the back cover for Jim Lee's X-Men #1 fills me with the same feel-good nostalgia you all probably get when you see a mint-in-box Mega Drive or box full of Speccy games or what have you (I'm guessing based on OGM's suspected demographics, can you tell? LOL.)

A shame this wasn't communicated with me, nice birthday present. My version was fine so I'll keep that one. ;)
Quote from: kitsunebi on May 30, 2025, 09:26 PMHooray for non-blurry non-distorted pages! There's a lot you can do with Photoshop, but fixing page curvature/blurriness caused by bound mags being scanned on a flatbed is something that simply can't be fixed, only cropped away or left for all to see as proof of how the mag wasn't debound.
I'm pretty certain there was no blurriness so not sure what you're smoking. Thanks for rubbishing my work... ::)
Superseding scans with those of higher quality is expected, welcomed, and should not be taken personally. I don't see why the original versions uploader would need to communicated beforehand, but I can confidently assume that no offence was intended.
Happy birthday!
Okay, getting a little tired of "my version is better than your version" talk so what I will say is, to quote from Disney's Aladdin movie, "You know the Golden Rule? He who has the Gold makes the rules!!"
In this case I own this website so what is hosted on the site is entirely of my own choosing.
I'd leave it at that but in this particular case slider1983 has said, and I quote, "I'm pretty certain there was no blurriness so not sure what you're smoking" so I would kindly direct anyone to view the differences between his flatbed scanned version and my one put through the ix1600 document scanner in the Gallery I added to the site. Take page 03 for example ....

I'm not pooh-poohing scans made on a flatbed. When nothing else exists they are better than nothing for sure BUT a flatbed scan will, all things being equal, never compete compared to a scan from a document scanner where the magazine has been taken apart to get the best possible scan. I know my scan is not the best it could be either as it was slightly over A4 in size but I am happy with it and ultimately that's what counts.

It isn't necessarily true that a flatbed scan will be worse than a scan from a document scanner. A nice/expensive flatbed might even get better results than a document scanner...if the pages have been debound. What's actually making the difference in this case is that the mag scanned on the flatbed wasn't debound. So there is shadowing and blurriness along the spine edge of the pages. This can sometimes happen on a flatbed EVEN IF the mag has been debound, if the pages are already curled (such as happens with thick stapled mags), since the lid of the flatbed isn't going to flatten the pages quite as much as when they are squeezed/squeegied between the glass plates on a document scanner. But there's no reason a debound copy of a square-bound mag couldn't be scanned on a flatbed and get good results (assuming the scanner itself was good quality.)
So I would change Kiwi's quote to this to make it always true: a bound scan will, all things being equal, never compete compared to a debound scan.

I have the complete set of 52 or 54 issues along with several specials. Nowhere else has them available so it's a nice, if somewhat niche, magazine for the site.

I have never seen an issue 11 but I know it did turn into another magazine called STATION2 at some point (there a couple of issues of this one on ebay at the moment).
Thank you for the uploads. Much appreciated. :)
Appreciate the STATION mags, I vaguely recall owning these. I guess judging from Gregorick's previous comment this was only a ten-issue run?
I completely forgot this was a magazine started by Dave "GAMES ANIMAL" Perry. My oath....

I'm not sure Station2 is related to the original Station. It's from Pole Star Publishing and I can't see a definitive link besides the name. I have the first issue and was planning to buy that 2nd one, so it might make its way to Jason one day...
BTW likewise I've never seen an issue #11 of Station. Thanks for the scans!

Ah, interesting. The logo and styling looked so similar (and the name of course) that I assumed it must be related. I honestly have no memory of Station2 and I bought pretty much every issue of Station so I guess it was just a complete coincidence. I am even more intrigued to see Station2 now!

Ahh!! So it's another of those stupid mags that got renamed after bugger all issues were previously released? It looked familiar when I was going through
Nipedley's scans over at IA trying to work out what I'd missed for one reason or another. There were quite a lot and these two weren't on the NAS in the directory so assumed I'd missed them. I'll remove them!!

I am with you ... on the other hand: if your fulltime job is to produce a magazine, you would expect that somebody of the editorial staff does some kind of proof checking ... at least looking at the cover for a quick check before it goes to print for thousands of copies. I have noticed a similar screw up of the cover date for a few other magazines around that era and I am always baffled how something so obvious got unnoticed. ;D

On a personal note there's been a death in the immediate family so updates will likely be sparse over the next few days.
Sorry to hear that mate
Sorry to hear Kiwi. Take some time if you need to.

Hi. For clarity do you mean the PDFs have been converted, hence there is no improvement in quality, or these have been produced from the original source scans, hence have better image quality?

Sending all my love and support. Look after yourself and those around you.
My condolences, chief. :(
My condolences Kiwi, sorry to hear.

No improvement in quality other than I've adjusted brightness/contrast on the covers. No denying these need work but I don't have time to edit these cover to cover on top of everything else I have to do unfortunately.
If I see any issues on the local auction site I will try and acquire them for rescanning but I haven't seen any in years.
Thanks for the clarification Kiwi
I'm so sorry kiwi, my condolences! I wish you and yours the best.
I can't believe the shipping prices to ship a single CVG issue from the UK to New Zealand. There are a lot of issues I'd dearly love to acquire, especially earlier issues we don't have, but the shipping price is triple the price to buy the mag itself. Ouch!!
