Hey, remember those old PSM magazine swimsuit issues? Where they'd have artists like Ryan Kinnaird draw video game women in skimpy swimsuits. I was struck with a sudden desire to see those again, but I've had a hell of a time finding scans. The best I've been able to do has been finding some of Ryan Kinnaird's artwork from his DeviantArt page.
In fact, I've only been able to find a single scan of one of the swimsuit sections, for the 2004 issue: https://imgur.com/a/0M5b3
I don't suppose anyone here has scans of the other years?
And if not then I guess we can just make this a general "remember the good old days of video game magazines" thread.

The old UK Nintendo Official magazine was some shit. They had a Section called Bobby Tokyo, where their "Asian reporter" would write in broken English about things such as trying to play Pokémon in real life by spray painting dogs yellow and stuffing them into pot noodle containers. The segment was eventually shut down over complaints of racism.

That's because Adam Warren and Ryan Kinnaird, the two artists who worked on most of those pictures, ARE the artists who work on Empowered.

It's not porn. Also, I DID try Google. And several sites who specialize in video game magazine archives. None of them have any of the issues. I figured someone here might have physical issues.

Man, I kind of miss playstation mag, it was so fucking awesome getting those swimsuit editions with my favorite characters in sexy swimwear, just the frosting on the cake filled with funny shit they wrote about various games.
I don't think I'd ever be able to go back to those days now, the internet really has spoiled me for that. Any character I want I can just look up on a number of rule 34 sites, to the point it has become mundane. Kids today wont get to know that joy of opening up their video game magazine to find those luscious ladies waiting for them to ogle, they'll just go to google and type "somegame character boobs" and have unrestricted access to enough boner fuel to get them through puberty. Sad days.

I have the vast majority of PSM from issue 1 till about 2004 or so boxed up. Im missing the off issue here and there though. Also have issues of game players from feb 1994 to a few issues into when it became ultra gameplayers, a few years worth of diehard gamefan from july 1994 till it ended , a few 1994 issues of swatpro couple years worth of egm from the mid late 90s and issues 17, 45-145 of nintendo power plus a bunch of the snes and n64 era guides like smrpg, lttp, chrono trigger, dkc 1-3, super metroid, mario 64 etc. Ill dig them up sometime and start scanning anything interesting. Got a few of the old nintendo power club soundtracks i could rip too, m64, mk64, starfox 64. Bunch of the trading cards and pogs and shit i could scan. Probably start a thread when i do.

The two of them were looking for a style that was a compromise between western and manga, they settled on smaller eyes and DSLs on every female character. Their art style is the one time you could properly use the term "weebshit" as a proper adjective, as in it's shitty art done by actual weebs.

Boris is a great artist, it's kind of a shame they wasted his talent on replacing perfectly good cover art for a lot of games. At least he seemed to genuinely care when he did those covers.
