Hey guys, I am trying to get every major publication related to the Dreamcast Half-Life compiled someplace and I have already got these full features from the US and UK mags. Source http://www.outofprintarchive.com/articles/features/Dreamcast.html Source http://the-dreamcast-junkyard.blogspot.com/2010/07/reader-request-odcms-half-life-article.html OCDM France scans by unclejun The work below was sent to me from a user by the name of Barnz who gave me all of these scans that he has been collecting since 1999! Special thanks to him for sharing these rare magazine articles! Dreamcast Magazine issue 15 Review Super Game Power Brasil preview Sega Saturno Spanish preview Blue-Shift guide Here are some great extras PC vs Dreamcast Half-Life compairason Everything you see so far I have included in a download with full resolution scans for better reading on your personal computer. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4QJCS12H I know that the Half-Life VS book was published and sent to retail shelves before the game was to be released. I know some of you here might have the guide book and was wondering if you could be so nice as to do full scans of it for all us HLDC fans. I have already made a huge package of Dreamcast related magazines for download if anyone is interested in some retro reading. It's almost 1gb in size. http://www.dcisozone.com/downloads/1920/dreamcast-related-magazines-and-scans-mega-pack.html Sorry for the huge pictures! Thanks in advanced everybody!
Anthony, I remember posting a while back to say that I was going to scan and upload a copy of the 5 out of 5 review of HL in UK mag CVG. However when I tried to find my copy back at my parents I wasn't able to find it. It could be somewhere with all my stuff but I doubt it. I can't remember the issue number but it had Lara Croft on the cover advertising Chronicles (she's wearing a white top). This might give you a hand in tracking it down anyway!
Hey guys thanks for the replys. I posted a thread on CVG forums asking for the scan. Thanks for the info! About that French magazine, could you scan it or take pictures of the article? I would like to have a look at it. I don't think it matters if it is from an English, German, French or Spanish magazine, it is just important to me that I preserve them. All that I can find are welcomed!
Hey guys, I have a very nice guy over at Racketboy named 3style scanning me a tone of pages, much thanks goes to him for this! Here is what he owns Half-Life Dreamcast related. He has already scanned issue 16, which is great of him to do this. Do I see Driver 2 on the bottom of the mag? I never knew Driver was going to come out for it.
I edited the first post with a ton of more magazines a user by the name of Barnz gave me all of these scans and comparason pictures that he has been collection since 1999! He has helped me almost reach my goal of having every magazine article of Half-Life Dreamcast ever produced in English, and he gave me one in Spanish too for those in Latin America and Spain. Special thanks goes out to him for all the work he has done 11 years in the making! I hope everybody here will enjoy reading about these articles as much as I do, enjoy! If you want full size pictures of all the magazine articles I have so far, you can find them below. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=0UVRIMZF If anybody else has any other scans they could be so nice as to add to this package, please send them to me and I will update the post with more pictures allong with your name in the credits.
I used to own about all of the ODCM magazines that came out here in the States. I do fondly recall the Half-Life issue, shame I sold them off a while ago when I needed the cash.
Gamespress has a bunch of images, most in higher quality than you seem to have. They have one shot in particular that is labeled as the DC version, that looks to be the deathmatch mode. They also have the PAL cover for the game. Problem is you need an account (which I have), but they are all watermarked unless you pay for the files.
Barnz possibly is TehBarnz from youtube, i remember that he uploaded 2 beta videos of half life, one with a test level with a female scientist doing a "service" to a male scientist and g man seeing, another is gabe newell playing.
Awesome thanks for the info guys, very appreciated! About the Dreamcast magazines, well, I have 3 guys that are scanning them for me, and they are all doing this for free when time permits. 2 guys are going to scan all the US and UK ODCM's, and the guy I got the unoffical DC cover from has already started work on that magazine, so I'll post the pages of the mags he has too and make a new package that is more complete. If you folks would like to follow the progress on the mags, here are th elinks below. Unoffical mags http://www.outofprintarchive.com/forum/index.php?topic=1010.0 Official OCDM US. http://the-dreamcast-junkyard.blogspot.com/2010/12/interview-with-corey-marshall-dc-turns.html And Meppi over at Out of print archive is going to do the UK ODCM's for me. http://www.outofprintarchive.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=4 I have something for all you portuguese speakers too, here is a mag Barnz gave me last night, hope you enjoy!
i remember this magazine it was called super game power, it lasted until 2004, it was published in brazil. i wonder how they did review it, i ve heard in forum outerspace that some magazine copied reviews and walkthroughs from another magazine from USA.
That could be true, as I think many game magazines that were made in different places but owned by the same corporation did this to save money. Edit: I just realised I had mail in my inbox from unclejun! He sent me the scans from that magazine! Thank you so much for these, they are beautiful! I'll edit the first post with the pages! and the new updated download link! Could somebody please translate what is says on the comments on the first paragraph? I don't speak French, but obvioulsy can understand many words since English has a lot of French borrowed words, but does this say something to the effect of having mods on the Dreamcast version?
