My name is Andy and I'm from Belgium. Born in '76.
I spend most of my free time digitising and restoring classic video game magazines, mostly from the UK.
I've been doing this for over 20 years now and I'm here to share my passion for these magazines, as well as the games they cover with others.
I love to read and talk about gaming memories from years gone by.

My main hobbies are gaming, both modern and retro gaming, as well as Japanese, South Korean and classic Hong Kong cinema.

Quick glance at the Super Mario Bros I hauled for a friend. It's in okayish shape, the playfield only has minor things, the translite appears to be a professionally printed poster and the cabinet has some minor damage in the paint. It's relatively easy to play even when the flippers are obviously in the need of a rebuild (or at least the return springs replaced) and the NVRAM battery that's soldered on the CPU board really needs to go before it becomes a disaster.

And the contents pages for Total! 11 - November 1992 (UK)

Total! 11 - November 1992 (UK) has just been added to the preliminary magazine catalogue.

Enjoy! 😙

And once more, thanks to @mackensen , this issue is not missing any parts, unlike the physical version I received when I bought a bundle of them a couple of weeks ago.
So this is the very first time the magazine is available digitally and thankfully, it's fully in tact. 😊

Been trying to hold off on picking up Donkey Kong Returns once more for the past couple of days, but this definitely isn't helping in that.

I loved this game when it released on Wii!

Somehow...Donkey Kong Country RETURNED! - Donkey Kong Country Returns HD

Pretty good day today.

I was able to put the final touches on the next Total magazine and a new issue of GamesMaster, as well as start working on the final parts of another GamesMaster issue.

Played some Picross S2 in the garden while listening to the Donkey Kong Country 2 soundtrack on Nintendo music. 🥰

And Just finished the scanning for today as I'm about to make dinner, watch an episode of Dexter and play some more Donkey Kong before bed.

Already started scanning the last issue of Total that I have, which makes me a bit sad as I wish I had more to work on...

Review for Balloon Kid on Game Boy.
Taken from Total! 3 - March 1992 (UK)

I played this game all the time back in the day.
Didn't expect it to go from a single screen arcade -like game to a scrolling platformer.
So much fun!
