Just out of curiosity...

...does anyone know of a site that has scans of old magazines?  I'm trying to research some stuff for NA, and I get references to pages of various magazines, but I have no idea where to look to see the source text.  If anyone can help, thanks.

Pretty sure I put this in the right place...figured it was the most relevant place, but if someone disagrees, well, not much I can do to stop the move image

    Just to humor you image. This is actually more of a cry for help, though...



    I think I have a site for Nintendo-related magazines, I'll try to dig that up. Or are you looking for non-VG related old magazines in general?

    More video game mags...I'm trying to do some writeups for some of the listings in the database, primarily unreleased games, and some have VERY little to go on. A general site might be of help too, dig up old ads and such, maybe even a few blurbs in old computer mags or something, but I think my best bet would be from old gaming mags.

    *EDIT* And I refer myself to my avatar for not noticing the "Help Wanted" forum...DOH! image

    Yup, that's pretty much it. Wish I didn't have to download them though (not my comp, but I got rewritable CDs so I suppose I'll live), but that'll do image Thanks Bro image

    There is a guy in Australia who sells a CD with every issue of Nintendo Power for about $12. I got them off him. Saved me downloading them all because the files are huge.

    This is the auction I was talking about that I purchased

    Sweetness! Always helps to have access to European mags as well image Although I'd never pay someone for stolen data when I can just steal it myself image

    Yeah I agree with what your saying. Altogether they were a bit over 5GB & I could not be bothered spending the time downloading all of them which also would have taken up just under half of my monthly limit. So I thought $14 is ok.

    I have about 20GB of retro gaming mags, shame I can't send them to you on one disc or I would.

    That's why you get a torrent of it and download it bit by bit. The torrent itself is tiny. I'd do that myself except, well, like I said, it's not my computer image

    Well, upon further investigation, Bro's site has some value to me, but the other one doesn't really. Problem I'm having is that I am not on my own computer, so I can't install Comic Book Viewer...well, I can, but I don't want to install shit on a computer that isn't mine. The first site has .pdf files on some mags, so I can find a few issues here or there, but not everything. If only she had a torrent client installed on this computer...or I had some way to use my hard drive from my old lappy on this one so I could install it to my own drive image Ah well, there's probably something else out there image
