Not sure if this really qualifies as a video game deal but I figured there might be some interest in the free Nintendo Power archive.

The price is right

That's amazing. I got rid of my issues about 15 years ago. Those were from its inception. Was thinking about reading through the rest here, but who has time for that with our CAG backlogs?

[EasyEducator]

I just spent the past 15 minutes reading through the Final Fantasy strategy guide issue and reveling in nostalgia from 25 years ago....good way to spend the morning.  Now I've got to search through to find that Tetris GameBoy score I got published, haha.

Now we just need someone to do this for EGM. I'm really bummed that I got rid of all my issues from the 16-bit era. Typically I'm pretty empty inside but those old game magazines almost make me feel something akin to nostalgia and genuine human emotion.

This is wonderful. Thank you fro this. 

 

Is there a way to quickly download all of them? Or do you have to go through them individually. 

[Nesmaniac]

This is pretty awesome when I get time I might browse through some. I have all of them most in mint condition & this is far easier to look at without worrying about bending the originals.

I haven't played around with it too much yet. I'm not sure if you can download all of them in one file for easier access. That would be pretty sweet

Try this for EGM:

Wow, this is pretty cool. I have the remaining issues that aren't uploaded, but no hand scanner. Wondering if I should try scanning the remaining 112 volumes on an AIO printer...

 

EDIT: Viewing quality is pretty poor for these. They're all small, even on my low resolution screen. =\

Now if only someone would upload all of the "Tips & Tricks Magazine" issues.  Along with Electronic Gaming Monthly and EGM 2 that would be nice.

Edit:  Found some of the issues for "Sega Visions" magazine on that archive site.

[RoytheRobot]

Thanks OP. As someone who never read a Nintendo Power Mag, I highly Appreciate this.

Awesome. Now I know what I'll be doing this weekend, and as usual, it won't involve spending time with my family.

[Nine Lives]

The posters were always my favorite part of the magazine.

[Vinny]

Holy shit, these are legit scans... would love it if there was a way to download these. 

[guyver2077]

cool stuff. thanks op. second option to download all at once.

[EldritchOnRye]

This makes me want to go watch all those VHS tapes they used to send out, I'm sure they're all on YouTube.

Click on the issue and then choose the format you want to download it in.

[Biggquis]

Man... brings back memories of trying to memorize things from Metroid when my friends brought their issues to school, or memorizing all of Johnny Cage's moves from EGM and then finally playing at an arcade and losing in like 20 seconds

[plus1zero]

Love this thanks op

LOL Thanks, didn't even see that. 

[EroticMan]

thanks for post, no way i'd have seen this otherwise

[Larry Davis]

I flipped to a random issue, 8, and was greeted by the legendary Mark Discordia in the letters section.

 

This is a fantastic resource, although I agree that I wish the images were higher res.

[abbabaab]

Anybody else remember Gamepro?

[RySenkari]

I'm not entirely sure this is Nintendo authorized, the scans have the Retromags labels at the end and seem to be fan scans. Even so, they were uploaded by one of the admins of archive.org, so... I dunno what's going on here, did Nintendo give the thumbs up for them to just upload the Retromags scans?

[segasonic128]

wow, thank you for sharing!

[Captain N The Game Master]

For those that enjoyed Nintendo Power there is a newer magazine called Nintendo Force. I highly recommend. Its a great mix of new and old.

[MetalMegaGio]

That magazine was my favorite as a kid.

Nintendo Power, GamePro, EGM, Game Players Guide (to Nintendo, To Sega & Nintendo)... and many more were staples of my teen years.  It's nice being able to go back and look at some of these as I've sold off most of my magazine collections.

Same, I've been wanting to look through old issues for years.

Seriously thanks OP.

Game Players/Ultra Game Players (same mag, not sure why/when they changed the name) was an awesome  mag too, for two reasons: 

1. The Christmas Nights demo (we never had a Saturn, but borrowed a friend's to play it) 

2. The discs, wherein I saw my first glimpse of actual video game trailers... before that, it was just magazine pictures. The two most memorable ones were DN Forever (ha..) and FFVII.  

 

GameFAN and the Unofficial PS magazine (the PS1 days, it nose-dived during the PS2 days) were others I loved and would love to re-visit. Sucks that no few of these magazines are archived.
