Vintage Gaming Magazine Preservation
Some of you may have read this thread at SegaXtreme. I have already started scanning some of my old gaming magazines and we have some availible to download very soon. There are also a couple other SX members who are planning to contribute as well. We hope to start up a formal magazine archive soon.
Our goal is to scan every page (including ads) of the older gaming magazines that we can find at a good resolution, clean them up in Photoshop (or your choice of software) and convert them to PDFs.
I have a nice stack of old gaming mags ranging from the 8-bit era to the 32-bit era. I’m moving soon and do not have time to scan more than 20% of them. I’ll help pitch in for the shipping costs to send the magazines to somebody who is serious about helping out and has a decent knowledge of scanning. Lemme know if you’re interested.

What are your requirements for these scans? I’ve taken on scans before and I’m currently learning how to optomize my technique. Let me know.
Well, I recommend you take a look at this:

Cool idea, I’ll dig around for some old mags I might have. If you do put it up, you might want to check http://www.fracknaps.com for hosting the mags. It’s a print sharing service. They have an embedded reader like Youtube.
