About This File

I finally got around to adding some of my favorite gaming magazines to LB and was surprised to not find any media packs available here in the forums. Just in case somebody else wants them I will leave them here, I'll add more as I add them to my launchbox collection. I will only pull art from scans I actually have, it would be nearly impossible to get all the back cover scans via google images. I plan to return and finish up any incomplete sets once I find decent scans for them.

Each zip contains Clear Logo, Platform Icon, Covers, Back Covers, Spline, Fanart, and any other extras. I also included media for platforms/playlists if anybody needs those as well. If your looking for a copy/paste solution it can only be obtained by making sure your magazine titles match that of the files, as with any other pack. There are NO pdf/cbz/cbr files included in any of these sets, they only contain art to be used with launchbox.

Magazine files should be named as such:

  • magazine sets that are single digit: Magazine Name #0
  • magazine sets that are double digits: Magazine Name #00
  • magazine sets that are triple digits: Magazine Name #000

Thanks for these xevious1974! I've personally never heard of these, it's nice to see something new.  I'll add them in with the mix, with credit to you of course.

I am absolutely loving the packs and I'm using it as a guideline to add all these retro mags to my collection. 

Just to make a small contribution, I am currently working on the CDi Magazine. I noticed the platform media is missing (Unless I missed it) so I did a quick chop and resize job below for the clear logo and icon. Also, Issue 1 is readily available on archive, so I added the cover and back cover. I will probably try and do a quick clear logo if I get a chance.

Like I said, small contribution, as I continue adding them Ill contribute if there is any more media I find or need.

Edit: If ya cant find it, the icon is right below the cdi clear logo,its just really tiny lol
