Hey guys,

I can't belive this site... awesome, I have just been through a couple of old N64 Magazines to see if I can find the Mario Cart 64 Championship for Mario Raceway. A bit of nostalgia for me, I entered the competition came 2nd or 3rd, think 3rd and I am dieing to see this magazine release. I think the comp ran over 3 issues, 5th 6th and 7th. Not totally sure, but it was a major competition that thousands entered.

I even got to visit the N64 offices and have a race with the top 3 in a showdown and play diddy kong racing which hadn't come out at the time....They were the days Smiley

Anyways you would make my day even if you just scanned the competition pages.

Thanks you bunch of legends

Sorry for being a bit late with the reply.
I've been extremely busy with work as well as redesigning the catalogue pages this past week.
Also, I've ran into some trouble with issue 5 of N64 magazine so I'll have to g hunting for a new copy.  Embarrassed

I'll try to look into these articles this weekend as I'm supposed to have a bit more time then. Wink

Hi meppi, I was just getting nostalgic over N64 magazine and I stumbled on your website, I collected this magazine from issue 23 and I loved it right up until the end of the gamecube days but I still buy the odd issue of NGamer (the current version) even now, although the last member of the N64 team has just left (hence my nostalgia trip).

Anyway, what I think your doing is great (oh, and by the way I don't know if you know but I saw a reply from early art editor Wil Overton on your forums earlier - or at least I think it was as he has posted similar things elsewhere. and I am really looking forward to seeing the magazines that came out just before I got my N64.

Glad you are enjoying the magazines so much.
In the end that's what it all comes down to, preserving these magazines for people to enjoy them for many, many years to come.
Without the problem of having to scour ebay or the likes for issues which more often than not are in bad shape and sell for way too much money.

The only problem we face is time.
Time to scan and especially edit the magazines since each of us has a full-time job as well.
This means that it's hard to pick which magazine to work on since we're always leaving dozens of others laying by the side no matter what choice we make.
I'd love to have the full sets of all these wonderful magazines online right now, but for that to happen we'd have to drastically scale back the quality of each scan.
Which is something we just wouldn't feel right about as this is more than just a scan project for us. We do our best to make it a restoration and preservation project that would make the content creators and owners proud.
In that regard, I'm very happy to see we've been doing just that over the past 2 year. Smiley

Oh and yes, that's indeed Wil Overton who posted previously in those threads. Wink

Meppi, this guy is selling his collection on ebay.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/N64-MAGAZINE-COLLECTION-/270870179586?pt=UK_Magazines&hash=item3f111eef02

Maybe try and contact him, and he might be willing to sell you just issue 5 if you still need it.

That looks really good but there's a couple of problems with it though.

I've tried to convince people in the past to send things over to me even though they mention in the auction that they would only ship to the UK, or that it's a pick up only auction.
We almost always need to get the shipped to Neil, which then ships them over to me. Sad

On top of this is the problem that he might not even want to break up the collection. But it's worth a shot.

It's always worth asking. At worst he'll just say no!

Plus that collection is already missing a few issues.
