Wow! The SPEC issues have just arrived, and they're AWESOME! Take a look:

And don't try to make sense of the occasional English phrases I used, I was trying to be funny to my Brazilian friends. There isn't any interesting information in it aside from the pictures :)

I'll probably have it scanned, as well as the PS1 hintbook, in September.

Okay, pressing question: Orakio_Rob, where do you get the hookups for such treasures!? Did you go to Japan?

These books are just a delight. And look at the great condition they're in! Niiiiiice.

I've bought them from Yahoo Japan, Rune. And sadly, the books will soon be ruined, as I'll have to destroy the binding in order to scan them properly :(

Those SPEC issues look awesome! I'm envious over here, Orakio_rob. Ouch, destroying them? Maybe you should get back ups.

I agree with Lemina. Had I paypal or something else, I'd donate some cash. But sadly, even if I did have it right now I wouldn't be able to because of my current situation in r/l. though I would definitely donate to.
A simple text based signature? That's impossible!

Woo-hoo! Here is the first one, SPEC 7!

Image

Some people asked whether they could donate or thank me somehow. Well, I'm doing this because I absolutely love Phantasy Star, and I've been wanting to see these books as much as you. But in fact, I'm spending quite a few bucks on it... so, if anybody wants to donate via paypal or is willing to buy me something from my Amazon wishlist (that would be reeeeeally nice) I've added the relevant links in my blog post.

Hope you like it as much as I did! And if anybody wants me to scan a particular page in different ways, maybe so it's easier to edit or for whatever reason you may find, just ask me and I'll do it, ok? I've just bought a scanner, so now it's easier to get this stuff scanned.

You don't need to ask me for permission to use the scans on your website, just go ahead and do it. But please, mention the original blog post, ok?

I'm scanning issue 7.5 right now. It will probably be online tomorrow.

Huh. For some reason, I was under the impression that the Nei Third story was a prologue of sorts to PSIV and that the Rudy in that story was the same character, but a quick glance at this shows that that is very much not the case.

I must have been confusing it with the PSIV drama CD or something.

Great job with the scans! Thanks! I'll probably donate some money to you when I get some more hours at my job. :sweat:
