There have been some 1991 Japanese magazine scans this past year, and I went poking around to see what I could find for pre-release Zelda A Link to the Past images. The Sanctuary mid-rain storm is classic since that never happens. Special thanks to @dushubz.bsky.social for some recent scans

I also really love this infographic we did. The magazine archive is a collaborative effort. We've scanned thousands of magazines, but we're also relying on years of scanning work by the community and partnerships with the industry. It takes a village!

30% of our magazines were provided by Retromags. 33.4% were scanned by the Video Game History Foundation. Magazine publishers and staff provided another 10.8%. In declining order, other contributor groups are "Various Internet Archive users," CGW Museum, Out-of-Print Archive, and other community groups.
