So I accumulated a lot of old gaming magazines as a child and mostly just let them sit around for far too long. I'm looking to try to sell them because I'm in need of some money, but since this community still really means someting to me, I figured I'd let you guys have first dibs (although I'm starting to think none of these are really worth anything). I'm hoping there's a possibility that some of them include prerelease screenshots that are worthy of being put up on TCRF's prerelease sections. I have to warn you though that these are provided as-is; there's no guarentee that what you're looking for is there. I know for a fact my brother tended to cut out pages or even pieces of pages about games he liked. Also, there's a decent amount of wear and tear on the books, pages being bent, torn, and written on. But hopefully someone here can find something useful in them. Let's start with the lists.
  • 2 Tips & Tricks (July 2001 & August 2001 [Issue 77, 78])
  • 1 PS2 & Playstation CodeBook (2002 Edition)
  • 1 XBN (October/November 2003 [Issue 10])
  • 2 ExpertGamer (July 2001, August 2001 [Issue 85, 86])
  • 13 GamePro (November 2002 - November 2003 [Issues 170 - 182])
  • 13 Nintendo Power (September 1997, May 1998 - March 1999, March 2002 [Issues 100, 108 - 118, 154])
  • 1 Mario Kart 64 Nintendo Official Player's Guide
  • 1 Diddy Kong Racing Nintendo Official Player's Guide
If you have something specific you know should be in one of them, you can tell me what issue and I can look to see how much damage is done to the page (if it's still there). Also note that all of the Nintendo Power issues except 154 have been digitized at http://www.retromags.com/.

Free Game Manuals has some that RetroMags doesn't.

Though you probably have magazines that neither websites have .

From what I can tell, I can't find the XBN, ExpertGamer, or GamePro issues on either site. I can't find the Nintendo Power issue 154 at Free Game Manuals either.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
