Turbografx articles, ads from egm *UPDATED*

[playthegame119]

Hi, I noticed a lot of people were enjoying reading the scans of egm that talked about the turbografx, so I though I would scan some of the articles I had from my egm collection. This is just a small amount of the turbografx ads and articles I have, but I only wanted to scan a few per night. Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I did!

All the pictures here are from egm issue #16 (November 1990)









And some ads







Let me know if you want to see more. Thanks!

BOSS! Shoot the Jet in the end of Last Alert's first chapter with a flamethrower!

Why do I have the feeling that they only had a couple of screenshots and a small description in japanese to work with?

Haha yeah early egm was great, the goofyness and layout just screams early 90's game magazine, and is why I love reading them

No problem. I have plenty more I can scan, I just want to do a few at a time though.

Wasn't Legendary Axe the game of the year back in like 90? I recall really wanting to play it back then.

Actually it was game of the year back in '89.

These are great. I've recently started collecting old print ads for classic consoles myself. Some of them were true works of art!

That Tricky Kick ad is just horrible.  CYBERCORE SINISTRON like it's one game and no description or screen shots, just a grey perspective grid and splashes of pink.

Very cool! Always glad to see more of these.  Any chance you could also post them in this thread:

Just to keep all the ads in one spot?

I woul love to include your scans.

If possible, I like them 1300 pixels wide and high quality like this:

I have this stuff from a long time ago:

Plus a harddrive with tons of scans.

MY PROBLEM IS MOTIVATION. MAYBE THIS SUMMER (right now) I'LL START UPDATING AGAIN.

I'll tell you why I'm frustrated: with all the new "retina/high def" screens coming out, I don't know what standards I should use for dimensions/resolution of final .jpg

It sounds trivial, but I want to future-proof it (for at least a few years)...the old scans (TurboPlay) are utter shite now (granted its over 9+ years ago?)

Blah blah blah
