Dude, what's up with the magazine archives? Like, all the page scan links are broken. They didn't used to be!

I actually couldn't find a single one that worked. I tried a bunch of the DuoWorld and TurboForce and a select few TurboPlays all to the same end.

. . .Now that I read them now,  EGM really didn't appreciate the turbo very much...and lavished the genesis (and their cd) with attention  ugghh!

Ya think?

You know I was watching the History channel the other day and, looking back, I don't think Hitler appreciated the Jews very much . . . weird how obvious these things are in retrospect! :wink:
The Turbo was Dual Core when Dual Core wasn't cool . . .

Wow.  Nazi Germany / Turbo Grafx analogies.

I just checked one item off my "Shit I'll never see" list.

I'm actually surprised any of the pages are still up... I moved nearly a year ago and I no longer have an account with that ISP! When Base Nectaris went offline, I got tons of emails from random folks (as opposed to the regulars here) asking what happened, so I eventually moved the site to its current home.

Well.... I haven't done the same for the TG-16 Magazine Arcives because I have been working on a 100% completely overhauled kick-ass update of the Archives. The problem, of course, is that I want to launch the new site when all the new features have been implemented... but it is taking me a long time to get to that point.

I should just launch a crippled version of the new site... but I have this fantasy of a much grander, spectacular debut :).

The good news is that when folks contribute to the effort (i.e. I want to upgrade all of the existing scans, so when folks provide new high-res page scans), I stop sleeping and work feeeeeeeeeverishly on the new site.

Life stinks: It's 8 a.m., and I have a full day of home repairs / yard work to do. I wish it was otherwise!

I have scans, but they are not up to the standard I want (300 dpi, saved in a lossless format like .tif or .bmp).

If the bulk of the issue is in very good physical condition, I would love it if you were willing to provide nice scans. I should warn you: the files will be huge. The good news is that it is a short issue.

Safely clean the glass on your scanner and lovingly scan that issue! :)

Actually it is more of a Nazi Germany : EGM analogy  :-k  I remember reading the mag as a kid and always being pissed because they always reviewed the genesis games so much higher, despite the fact that so many of them were crap.

I will scan the issue this weekend when I have more time.  My issue is in very good condition just like all the other issues.  I cherished each and every issue of Turbo Play, Duo Force, Duo World as a youngster. :wink:

Rock on! Be sure to scan at 300 dpi, clean the plate glass, make sure there is no dust / lint / hair and scan away! Save lossless and I will be delighted. :) Send me an email if you have any questions at all! :)
