It could be that Gregorick has some of these as he mentioned completing this magazine set. Might pay to PM him directly about this title.

I have most of the early issues so will be uploading them as they pop up in my queue. There are a few issues missing in my collection which I will have a look at this week and confirm.

[matrixman1013]

Fantastic, just let me know and I will try to obtain any missing.

[SJHPS5]

Just wondering how progress is coming along with these issues.

[Gregorick]

Still have them in my pile to do at some point, just haven't got round to them yet.

I have most issues of GamesTM.

Actually been looking to get rid of them if I can get digital versions of them.

If shipping could be arranged, I'd send them to someone here to scan.

[Gregorick]

Realised I never confirmed what issues I have in my collection/scanning pile.

I have the following issues ready to scan: 4, 21-31, 33-38, 47, 51.

However, I also have some pretty low quality digital copies of everything up to 50 which I have sent over to Kiwi today. They may be a good placeholder until better quality versions come later. For this reason, GamesTM is pretty low on my list of priorities (especially as other things I have to scan have zero copies available anywhere).

This is proof that the Internet Archive can't be relied on as a permanent home for scans.  The first 50 issues of GamesTM were sold on a DVD at some point and uploaded to Archive ages and ages ago, then spread around elsewhere.  For a while, those were the only digital copies any of us had access to (and wow, are they ever low res - 10MB per or so per issue - and also missing all of the advertisements).  But sure enough, they aren't available at Archive anymore.  Whether taken down due to copyright complaint or because the uploader purposefully removed them for some reason, who knows (but it was probably the former.)  Luckily, we now have actual scans of a lot of those issues.

The DVD digital copies are the ones I have. They are so low res but weirdly the text is pretty readable, the images just look like pure trash though. Didn't realise they were up on IA previously. I've sent them over to Kiwi so up to him if he wants to host them here but I will hopefully get round to some semi-acceptable scans at some point.

I suppose there are eMag pdfs without ads. Horrible piccys.Text okay, but as a whole it is a trash.
