Wow that is amazing!

If I still had my magazines from the era I would donate them! Now I mostly collect back issues of Burrn the Japanese heavy metal magazine, which used to be pretty easy to find at almost every Book Off but not anymore

Lots of copies Burrn at Book Off here in Tochigi. Albeit most are within the last 15 years.

Oh man - that is what the shelves used to look like all over up until maybe 2018 or so - yeah the ones I would get are the 90s ones. I bet there are other magazines worth checking out too but already hording too many things...I still have almost every issue of Famitsu Xbox 360 somewhere

Would you guys be interested in any Australian gaming magazines? I have many years worth of HYPER, which I consider the best gaming magazine ever made.

I may not have time for them soon but I bet we could find somebody if you're willing to mail them to a scanner!

kaaboose.bsky.social•97 days ago

Is scanning a sophisticated process? I’m rather attached to them. I’m not kidding when I say it was the best gaming magazine and I’m loathe to part with them.

gamingalexandria.bsky.social•97 days ago

Yeah and if they are bound by glue we would need to cut them to debind so you may not want to loan them if that's the case.

Damn! You know what? Hoarded knowledge is knowledge lost. They are just deteriorating here anyway.
I started collecting them in the N64 era (they started in SNES unfortunately) and have most (some have been damaged) all the way until the end of print. They weigh a tonne.
The older ones are in boxes

Nice! Just downloaded the 1995 set the other day. Better get started on this one soon
