i originally joined this site because i was wanting to DL all the Nintendo Power magazines. I had a bunch of them saved from when i was a kid, but there were gaps. I ended up selling off the lot of them at some point, so these digital copies became my only source of that info. I've since bought back way more than i ever had before, so i guess it's a moot point. But i love the convo here, and i'm glad that i've even contributed some of my own scans (can't remember if they were Nintendo Fun Club News issues or Nintendo Power Flash. Also check out both issues of Where's Waldo magazine!) to make this place just a bit more complete.

i've been reading comic books on my Kindle Fire for probably 10 years now. It's amazing for that purpose. reading magazines on it is less ideal. The text is usually quite a bit smaller, so you end up needing to zoom in and scroll around each page. Worse yet is double page spreads.

i'm hoping some day this gets finished and finds a release on an actual Genesis cartridge (even if it's unofficial). Wily Wars was a lot of fun, and 4-6 are when i feel the series really hits its peak.

if the controllers for this thing are fully backwards compatible with the original system, and of a decent build, i might pick up a couple of them. Last time i tried, the good majority of my joysticks were un- or under-responsive. Haven't played my 2600 in probably a decade, so memory may be faulty.

i don't even know what to say about this line of magazines.....

what a weird magazine! who knew Yahoo had a print format?

Hi @RetroChiGuy1212, all magazines hosted on this site have been scanned by a member or the scanner has given Retromags the express permission to host said scans. If you were the one that scanned these magazines, we would be happy to host them here. Unfortunately, if they are just something that you ran across while online, they would not be able to be included. Hope this helps!

this is really cool, but not something that i can't live without. hope it gets funded for all those that wwant it tho!

i came across this "Classified Information" dossier on the release of Goldeneye 007 for the n64. i don't know if it was something included in a Nintendo Power magazine, mailed to subscribers, or available in stores somewhere? i don't remember this as a kid, although i definitely was still subbed to NP at this time, so i'm leaning towards the latter. Anyway, i gave it a quick scan (i had to do some tricky editing due to only having a flat scanner and this being slightly larger than a standard mag) and wanted to share it here. Not really sure where it fits into the site. https://www.mediafire.com/file/10imcbkgjikk4ad/Confidential+Information+Goldeneye+007.rar/file

next up for me is Wario Land for the Virtual Boy. i completed the first one on Game Boy a month or two back. Planning on playing the whole series this year.

just completed the original Crash Bandicoot on the PS1. Man, this game was WAY harder than i expected it to be. some really interesting concepts in this one, and i love the story of how they "hacked" the system to push the boundaries. but some of those levels are SO dark (dark as in lighting, not dark as in tone) that it's damn near impossible to see anything. and some of those 'running away from the camera' stages are so frustrating with the limited depth perception. All of that said, i enjoyed the game quite a bit.

Hey, so i ran across a user on Reddit that is scanning some Legend of Zelda strategy guides, and he agreed that they could be cross-hosted here. He asked that we also reference his work at his site (https://historyofhyrule.com/ ) which i would think isn't an issue. Link's Awakening: Link's Awakening (from Germany- some really great pics included in this guide! as well as the poster from NP4: and SO much more!

probably just aesthetics. This way, since the dragon is facing to the left, it subconsciously drags your eyes that way too.

i have never heard of this, but AWESOME discovery!
