  1. Dude, I still remember picking this up back in the day...
  2. Are the CDs available in any capacity? I remember you could find some of the PC Gamer discs on Archive, but I wasn't sure with these. Would be kind of nice to play around with whatever limited content it had. We didn't get a whole lot like this in the US(well, Christmas Nights, a few demo discs you could purchase and an occasional disc in the mail from Sega, but that was it).
  3. Well, more power to you. IMO, GameFan was probably the *best* magazine of its time. I loved EGM and GamePro(for a while at least), but GF was just something else. Can't wait until we get to the issues with those "blue shadows", lol.
  4. My "Holy Grail" would be GameFan, which looks to be happening here and has happened, in lesser quality, across a few other sites. That said, I would really LOVE to have the earlier Game Informer magazines issues. I'm talking back when they were given away for free with any purchase at Funco-Land, lol. I used to have all of the earlier issues, again they pretty much gave you the current issue for free and subscriptions were something crazy, like, $3 as long as you were trading in or buying games there. They started sucking around the time the Saturn and PSX got some traction(like a lot of other mags), but up until then they were alright. Funny story: There's an issue where they feature Shadow of "Eternal Champions: Challenge from the Dark Side" on the cover. It's either in that issue, or the one after that where they explain how that came to be. Apparently they reached out to Square and wanted to use artwork from ChronoTrigger, but the snobbish artist told them something to the effect of "My art is way too good for your crappy magazine", lol...
  5. Just out of curiosity, and I'm not complaining mind you, but how did you manage to get this pass Halverson? Hasn't he shown up in the past, thrown a fit and had ya'll take them down previously? The scans are amazing quality-wise, better than what I had found previously over at Archive.org. GF was one of those mags that I just loved back in the day. I have, physically, almost the entire collection. Thought about trying to get the rest, but they're just way too expensive. At any rate, keep up the great work!
  6. I used to very much be into the older Mac OS scene, even running "Macintosh Garden"(a site that hosted downloads of older Mac-based games) for a while. Do you happen to know what version, or around what version of Quark the files were originally created in? That program has always been pretty notorious when it comes to opening something that wasn't created on its exact version... Back to it, though, one of the tricks that you can use in Mac OS 9 to open files is to simply drag them to the App's icon. Try that at some point and see if you, at least, get some sort of error message. Let me know...
