Hi guys, I've managed to bag a super old Megazone for my collection that I thought you guys might want to add to your collection. Only issue is I'm unable to identify what issue number it is as unlike later issues it doesn't seem to state the number on the cover or internally, at least not that I can find so far. It appears to be the November 1990 issue before they switched to bimonthly. I've uploaded the cover for now. If you want the whole mag I can try and scan it into a pdf at work for you (if so do you have a recommend scanning guidelines to follow or advice for me?).

Hi guys, I've managed to bag a super old Megazone for my collection that I thought you guys might want to add to your collection. Only issue is I'm unable to identify what issue number it is as unlike later issues it doesn't seem to state the number on the cover or internally, at least not that I can find so far. It appears to be the November 1990 issue before they switched to bimonthly. I've uploaded the cover for now. If you want the whole mag I can try and scan it into a pdf at work for you (if so do you have a recommend scanning guidelines to follow or advice for me?). Here's the cover: https://retrocdn.net/File:Megazone_AU_Nov1990.png --Blake01 (talk) 02:10, 17 November 2019 (EST)
