Did the guy who owned the pervious site do magazine #2? I have all the magazines up to #25 (missing #26) and then all the way up to #47.

I have a scanner but not sure how good it is. It's 4 years old. When I have a little more free time. I’ll have a go at scanning issue #2 and see what happens but I'm not making any promises!

Nice one, I have a couple more later issues to add as well.

I don't think issue 2 was scanned so it's more than welcome!

Please keep us posted if/when you get any scanned

Cheers

I tried to scan in a couple of pages without very good results. My scanner will only scan A4. In fact it doesn't quite scan full A4. The whole magazine page fits in the scanner but it cuts too much off the pages.

Some articles (the ones at the edges of the page) have writing missing, as it won’t scan the whole page.

Yes that's a common issue, what most people do is scan the page twice (1 half at a time) then use a photo editing program to put the images together.

Hope this helps you matey.

Thanks very much for these, I was always more of a SuperPlay or SuperXS/ConsoleXS kid, I do remember getting a run of these though, probably around 15 upto issue 30. I've got all 48 issues of SuperPlay scanned (thanks to another forum user here), but I think people have had problems in the past posting them due to the copyright still being actively enforced?
