Very nice!

That's great Joe. I just saved a copy and downsampled it to 150dpi and it took it from 9 Megs down to 1.4 Megs. It's still very legible. You may want to think about doing that. I can email it to you if you want. Just a suggestion.

Your column is the only reason I want to subscribe to tips and tricks.

[autobotracing]

[kainemaxwell]

[Six Switch]

Because of you Joe,the import part,fighting part and Cool Zone is why I spend a whole $12 a year on T&T.And the guides are not too bad either. :D 8-)

[zot wildstarr]

yeah, your article rocks joe. i like the rest of the magazine too though.

[GENESISNES]

I gots all of them. The soon to be rare SNES games was my xmas list. and i also found digitpress.com from that mag.

[thekeepr]

Thanks Joe!!! The Keeper of the Old Games :-D

[digitalpress]

Wow, you people rock. You made my day! Thanks for the feedback.

Hey, I'm still working on a method to get these as low in size but acceptable in quality as possible. CongoBongo has been able to get the file to 1.5mb but the best I've been able to do is 5.5mb. I may have a solution on this though, will try this out tomorrow!

And Christian, I'll have my camera with me on the 8th!

[kainemaxwell]

The 5 meg download didn't take me long to get on my dial-up last night, maybe less then a half-hour at most. Great artcicles and can't wait to read the others. Heck downloading the first CC gave me a chance to read some the other articles there too.

[hydr0x]

i don't have a problem with the size at all, im able to use the 150Mbit connection of my university :)

but i have the same problem, my mag scans are far too big, one mag about 60MB ouch :( any ideas? i want them in color and of course still in good quality

[digitalpress]

I've added another month of scanned "Collector's Closet", see the link above :)

[digitalpress]

UPDATE.

December 2001 now online. Sorry for the large file size but there's just a lot of "imagery"! :)

Grab it from the link above.

This is great your column is the only reason I get that magazine. I am looking forward to reading all of the old articles.

[tynstar]

Hey Joe how long have you done that column? Are those the first ones?

[digitalpress]

Hey Joe how long have you done that column? Are those the first ones?

Yessir, those are the first ones. I just finished writing the June 2003 column - closing in on 2 years now! Time flies.

[digitalpress]

Now includes the November and December 2002 columns (they're at the bottom).

Enjoy.

I can't agree any less.

[Arqueologia_Digital]

[digitalpress]

UPDATED.

Added January, February and March 2003 columns to the archive.

Enjoy!

[digitalpress]

Today's update adds several months of new content - though by agreement the archive is a year old. Still, this stuff is timeless, isn't it? Collectors worry not about the month, perhaps a bit about the year, and just a smidge about the decade :)

Go see.

Yup me too. I was interested in Room of Doom and was wondering if there were any sites about it. Now I am here. :D

[Tank]

Your column is the biggest reason i subscribe to Tips&Tricks!

Thanks! :)

Wow, I may have to subscribe to that magazine now.

[digitalpress]
