Author Topic:   Completing your ZZAP!64 collection the ALTERNATIVE way...

BIGGEST JIM posted 11-02-2002 11:51 PM GMT
Hi folks!
As I witnessed zzap-issue 1 being sold for over 40 BPS on ebay last week (not for the first time)I realized that I'd probably never complete my zzap-collection: boohoohoo, slob, snibber!
Still missing issues 1, 6, 8 & 11 and since I'm not willing nor able to pay a small fortune for a couple of computermags I have to accept the fact that I'll have to continue my life being an INCOMPLETE ZZAPERONI! (oh no! Aaarghhhwlwl)
But, just at THAT moment, realizing my's a failure, I got an idea! (oh boy, why doesn't that happen all the time?)
An idea SO simple, SO brilliant, SO mean, SO SO SO..it made me feel SO stupid why I didn't think about it before..SO COOL!
Right now I laugh everyone in the face who-ever payed more than a couple of bucks on rare zzaps, HA! you LOOOOOOOZZZERRRR! ;>)
Reading this, the guy who paid +40 BPS for zzap number one probably 'll kick his own head in! HA! you deserve it RICH SNOB, kick a little bit harder...:>)
RIGHT! What's so blimmin' brilliant I hear you cry, tell us, tell us, so we too can have our FREE retro-rare-ultracool prehistoric zzaps!!!
Listen and shiiiiiver sad fellows, for here's the complete & detailed story:
First: go to www.zzap64.co.uk and download zzap!64 issue one, be smart, do it at your work using using the internet-cable-connection for superfast downloading! (3 secs a page is a nice score)WOT's the problem? Get yourself a decent job then!
Second: print out all the pages on a nifty laserprinter, at your work for example, doesn't cost you a thing, only your coffee-break. WOT's the problem? Get yourself a decent job then!!!
Now admire the quality of the printing because of the high quality scans Iain is offering. WOW! It's almost as good as the REAAAL THING!!!
Third: No go home, and print (for example) the cover & eventually all color-reviews (ie Elite) on your super colour bubble jet to make it look REAAALLY good!
(wanna have a good quality cover-scan? go to www.gamestone.co.uk and get it there, very well done)
Fourth: Now put all the pages in a binder, close it.
Fifth: Open your binder! Flick thru all these genuine zzap-pages, just like having the real thing babe! Oh boy, ARE YOU SMART, you got yourself a almost free copy of zzap number ONE! In fact it's even cheaper than it was buying the mag in 1985.
AMMMMMAZING!
TIP: This method works out for all issues you're eventually missing ;>)
You guys understand that my collection's complete now, all missing issue were done this way, the urge to search is over, mission completed: GAME OVER!
Watch this space: this year I'm launching my tribute zzap!64-site, containing all kinds of zzientific zzapfacts!
SEE YA!

I think I've found an error :)
"Second: print out all the pages on a nifty COLOR laserprinter, at your work for example, doesn't cost you a thing, only your coffee-break. WOT's the problem? Get yourself a decent job then!!!"
Notice what I added? Ofcourse one should use a COLOR laserprinter, not a B&W one, and not some bubblejet at home, that way one get better quality and it comes absolutely for free! :) And as you said, if you don't have a COLOR laser at work, get a decent job then!
