TG16 ad scans

[Shrapnoid]

VG&CE is the reason I got a TG16,all the articles and ads had me hooked. I still got most of the mags and will have to scan them sometime.

To Shapnoid 1) now I undestand your signature! 
2) Thanks for the scans!

.

No problem.
That old ad is something that has stood out in my memories from back when I used to read VG & CE.

I sure do miss that mag...

Sounds great. That mag influenced me toward the TG-16 as well.

Black_Tiger? I don't remember? It seems like that there was a Black Tiger in Turbo Train but, I'm not sure and I didn't know that he had his own group either or maybe it's just been so long that I forgot.

The only groups I remember being fairly big on yahoo were NEC_Avenue, TurboGrafx Network which ended up with the most members and my old group, Turbo Train-16 which did okay I guess but, didn't hold a candle to those other two groups.
Still, it was fun while it lasted.

The scanned stuff in TT-16's photos section still contains the original size uploads as well as variations on those sizes.

I don't have any idea where my original scanned backups are.

I'm glad that I found out that you're here because I've been seeing some good VG & CE mags on ebay that you may want to add
to your archives but, some of them are a bit pricey.

I remember back when you first joined the old group and gave us all the link to the archives.
I just about drooled all over my keyboard, looking at those old Turbo Play mags.

It must have been a pain to have to scan all of that but, it was obviously well worth it.

Well, I have to go. I Have to relable some outgoing mail that screwed up the addresses on.

OMG! Turbo Train-16!

Holy Canoli!

Now the other Yahoo Groups are coming back to me (because you listed them)!

Ha! Black_Tiger was TurboGrafx Network, you were Turbo Train-16 and I have no idea who NEC_Ave was (I think it was probably Nintega).

Just kidding.

I'm glad you helped me take a stroll down memory lane.

thanks for that, forgot where that archive was. Is there ever interest in backup up entire magazines? Like an entire issue of VG&CE?

This thread is great

I love all this stuff.

Anyone who wants to contribute scans to the TG-16 Magazine Archives should scan at 300dpi (huge file is created) and I'll take the raw file (lossless). 

I have a backlog of scans I'm processing right now (I'm woefully behind), but I would love to create "one place" to view EVERYTHING.


If you guys are interested in advertisements, for example, you can sort/filter by "advertisement" in the "Content" column:

Advertisements Only

NOTE: Not all scans are uploaded, and this table represents a mere fraction of the total number of magazines/page scans I am working on. Basically, when you don't see me here on this message board, I'm either: (1) working on the magazine archives or (b) taking care of real life.

Heck yes, if you are willing to do the work. Now, before you go off and do it, I'm pretty certain that folks out there have been scanning various magazines...VG&CE might be one of the magazines that's being actively archived.

I personally haven't checked (go figure!). Also, even if an issue is available elsewhere, but you create a higher-quality version, well...I think that would be considered a worthwhile upgrade.

That said, I would be more than happy to host any scans you do (entire magazines), even if they are not TG-16 related.

You mean Black_Tiger is Kab?? No. No way! That is too funny! The Aero Blasters fanatic?
Oh boy! This is rich! I never would have guessed!

I can't remember who did NEC_Avenue but, I do remember him telling me once that he didn't approve of using yahoo groups for uploading roms.
Come to think of it, Steve (TZD) wasn't crazy about it either. He tried to talk me out of it too. I should've listened to him... but, that was a long, long time ago.

I did find a small VG & CE archive a few weeks ago.
Let me go look around and see if it's in my links.
I'll get back to ya.

Black_Tiger is Kab... Hahahaha...

It's funny that you mentioned Turbo Play because I have one right here...

Is it just me, or are Select and Run on that controller blue?

[Shrapnoid]

They DO look blue, don't they? Must've been the lighting in the studio.

Man 6 issues for ten bucks...I wish I went for it! Lol

I think i still have a bunch of old VG & CE, Gamepro (who had some of the ugliest cover art!), and EGM which i'm proud to say swayed my decision to buy a PCEengine because of the PERFECT SCORE review they gave Ys Book I & II! I'd be more then happy to scan all the game reviews of any TG or PCE games from these assorted mags  My favourite part to browse was always the game reviews to see which they graded right, and which one they were TOTALLY out to lunch on!

If the magazines are available, jot down the issue # and date. If I haven't scanned them yet, well...

Ok, sounds good so we can avoid duplicates and save time
