Ok all i have an idea for a topic that has been on my mind for a while.
I have a fair few old ONM magazines stored away roughly 70 issues from before the wii was launched to a few years after.
Now i know there was games promised that never saw the light of day (who remembers sadness or grinder)
But my idea is this. go through the magazine issue to issue finding the old promises and lies and updating this topic with the finds along with photos taken of the articles aswell as any old posters and stuff i find.
Im just wondering though would anyone be interested in such a thread?
Incase you thought the guy with alex looked familiar it may be because chandra nair used to be the associate editor of ONM
FUN FACT. Chandra also used to be in a band and in 2007 i was producing a drum simulation game in a similar style to guitar hero/rock-band but before they had drums. i was in contact with chandra and he said i could use the bands music in my game. Unfortunately like many of my ideas the game came to a loose end and i had to stop development.
THE CHALLENGE PAGES
FUN FACT... Entering these challenge type of challenge pages back in the day got me the title of world record holder (unofficially) on SSX tricky on the Garibaldi stage. ( i then lost my video tape with my world record run on it, hopefully i will find it one day and i can claim that title.
Thanks so much for posting these! Was a huge fan of ONM back in the day but my copies of the early magazines are long gone...
Former games editor Chris Scullion often laments the lack of any online archive of those glorious years so it might be worth hitting him up on twitter!, I bet he'd love to see these
If i have issue 2 (im sure i do and im certain i have issue 3) it was a while before i subscribed to this magazine so i was buying random issues up until that point.
I will probably have to make the mags a weekly post as the issue 1 post took me roughly 2 hours (not including the time i took reading the magazine aswell)
@gamermole Hey there, just letting you know that I'm going to edit your post to make this thread a bit more mobile friendly. Next time, please put a link instead of the entire image if you're posting multiple large images in one post. The page was kinda laggy when I opened it, so I don't even want to think about what it's like for the mobile users.
@gamermole@otterskateboard I can ask @TheLZdragon to make an exception in this case. Large images aren't mobile user friendly, plus it cause the page to lag while loading. I'm sure there's a better way to archive images like this, isn't there? Maybe pick your favourite pages and keep the rest as links?

With respect to various speeds, I'd rather just have 1-2 images per post.
