Just a quick teaser, Their may be an extra page of scans on the site soon and it won`t be mags but it is relevant and a very overlooked (quality wise) part of 64 history?
Wait and see
You will all be able to participate and help out
Better keep quiet now before Iain gets a restraining order on me

Well guess you guys can guess its going to be a covers site, this wil be quality scans of inlays fully laid out with fronts and backs of boxes, tapes,disks manuals and any goodies which came with the software.
If you would like to do any scans please scan whole inlay, manual and media as we want this to be as complete a record as possible.
Scanning regs are 300dpi , saving at 90% jpg compression, send in as is (usual case of better to overengineer to futureproof as much as possible. Ftp is currently having a bit of a hiccup so drop a message on here to update whats been done, I am sure Iain will sort that side out soon enough.
Naming the scans:
eg Silent Service disk instructions
SilentserviceMicroproseDiskInstructions01
" " 02
Tape version
SilentserviceMicroproseTapeInstructions01 etc
Tape itself
silentserviceMicroproseTapeTape

At the moment, the game name in the filename HAS TO match the name of the game in the Zzapbible, because the two tables are linked up to provide publisher etc. info on the game.
As for adding games that aren't in the ZzapBible, this will be implemented soonish. The page is nearly ready for launching, I just have one more script to write and then adding all the scans to the DB, which won't actually take all that long, once they are named correctly.
