M2 coverage in Next Generation magazine

[WindowsKiller]

While sorting and renaming all the scans of NextGen's M2 coverage, I noticed that we are missing some. In particular:

June 1995 - "M2: 3DO bites back"
Dec. 1995 - "NG Hardware: M2" (partly scanned, page 80+81)
Feb. 1997 - "World exclusive: M2 specs revealed"
Aug. 1997 - "M2 is 'alive' says Matsushita"
Oct. 1997 - "M2 just not good enough"

Can anyone owning any of these issues please make scans? Would be cool to have NextGen's *whole* M2 coverage archived. :nod:

After doing proper renaming, this is what I have in my archive so far:

They should all be floating around the net already (not with those filenames, of course), but I can upload them if there's enough interest. Just let me know.

I think it would be nice to have them alltogether!;-)

I would be happy to host them if you want WK. Let me know.

I'm pretty sure that I have them. I'll check tonight and get back to you.

I have the issues in question and I'll start scanning the articles of interest shortly.
I also have the Edge "1996 Essential Harware Guide" (pictured below) that has M2 information. If you don't already have scans of this let me know and I'll process that issue at the same time.

My heart.... I used to own a few of those magazines with M2 stuff in it... such a quality magazine I always felt... I miss it!

Next Gen was basically just the US version of The Edge. In fact, they regularly swapped content. While the quality of The Edge may have gone down slightly in the past few years, it's still the best written and produced magazine for video games in my opinion.

I uploaded a more complete pack:
