Thank you for the uploads everyone. Much appreciated.

Quote from: kitsunebi on Apr 08, 2026, 08:25 PMPC Games Vol.4 No.4 and PC Games Vol.4 No.5 are up.

 

I like how the Jedi Knight cover says "Actual Screen Image" like no one could ever believe those graphics weren't from some pre-rendered cutscene made by a warehoused-sized array of supercomputers.
;D

as long as a magazine is readable, it is good enough for me... but I also like 320 kbps mp3 and some people can only get by with lossless... as long as other people are enjoying the hobby in their own way, it is all gravy to me... glad other people share a enjoyment of old magazines like I do

The text is incredible clear for 10mb I presume this was some sort of official release, as I presume it is vector for the text and other elements and just the images are compressed. I saw that you uploaded the same to internet archive which is appreciated since they have a good text search which picks these up nicely. But of course we don't want our own scans on IA they are exclusive to here, but for the lower quality "official" type releases that is one of the best places for people to enjoy them.

I am curious do you have a txt file of all the files you have?

Quote from: nexradchris on Apr 01, 2026, 04:54 PMI have some mags I would like to upload if you guys would be interested.  174gb of computer magazines to be precise.

Was that attachment (PC Format 186) meant as a "sample"? No offense, but the quality is pretty horrible, all of the images in the magazine are totally washed out due to compression. If the filesize for a whole magazine is barely over 10MB it's usually not a good sign ...

Quote from: Kiwi on Apr 01, 2026, 06:59 PMOf course that stop doesn't members of rape and pillage sites like Internet Archive and another site I can't remember the name from bulk mining sites like ours and posting them as if they were their own. 

RetroCDN?  Though there are bound to be others of lesser significance.  Copy/paste is a lot easier than actually making these scans, after all - anyone can do it.
