Hi everyone,
I'm looking for scans of old Mac magazines, like Mac Addict and Mac Format. Is there a collection of scans available anywhere for such publications?
I'd really love scans of Mac Action too, a short-lived magazine dedicated to Mac gaming, as the magazine itself is hard to come by.
Thanks!
I've kept the reviews and how-tos from my collection of MacFormat, from issue 1 through to mid-2011. I also have MacUser and MacWorld since 1992.
But scanning them will burn through too many scanners, that's about 70,000 - 80,000 pages. It was about 60 A4 ring binders worth, when I had then packed up and shipped when I emmigrated.
I can take requests, if you can name the game and mag and edition, but I have no time nor money to do the lot.
I'm not really looking for anything specific! I was just hoping there would already be a collection somewhere, even if it's a official DVD one I could purchase from the publisher.
I knew I shouldn't have thrown out all my old magazines!
MacFormat SOMETIMES put a collection of searchable PDFs for the magazines in the preceeding 12 months on the final cover CD of the year. From memory this would have been about early 2000's.
For great game reviews for the time, I would have recommended http://www.gamedb.com/ but Google reports some of the pages having malicious software.
Inside Mac Games http://www.insidemacgames.com/ also has nearly 1000 reviews worth reading, going back to SimCity.
