NE146 Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Phaze's Classic Videogame Magazine Museum has some cover scans online as well. Beware of popups though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its not too much trouble, it would be very useful to know the total number of issues for each mag. Many times, issues are skipped and therefore it helps to know how many exist from say "aug 82-fall 84". Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRetroGamer Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 I've been using the list on DP for this, but I have found a few inconsistencies. http://www.digitpress.com/faq/vgmags.txt Since we're on the topic of magazines, I still need a few to complete my collections - if anyone has the following issues and wants to sell them, please let me know. Colecovision Experience #2 Joystik Apr 83, Sep 83, Dec 83 Video Games Apr 83, Aug 83, May 84, Fall 84 Video Games Player Dec 82/Jan 83, Feb/Mar 83, Apr/May 83, Jun/Jul 83 Computer Games Jul 84 and any later issues. I have completed the following collections: Electronic Games, Electronic Fun, Videogaming Illustrated, Vidiot, BLiP, Atari Age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
