I thinking of scanning my issues of the old UK fanzine Electric Brain by Onn Lee, as far as I'm aware they are extremly rare, not monetary valuable, just very rare. Anyways just checking if there's much interest as it's a bit of pain to scan a whole issue and not worth it if nobody around who cares.

That would be absolutely mint thank you. Onn Lee's earlier fanzines would be even minter. I have most of his zines but they are stored abroad. Someone else really needs to track down Onn Lee and interview him for the same amount of people that still care/remember. I have few issues of Onn Lee's precursor fanzines to Electric Brain which were Console Ma'zine and PC Engine Fanatics. I contacted Onn Lee years back and he wasn't interested TBH, same with Rachel Ryan (Role Call Fanzine).

JapJac it's likely we had interactions back in the late 80s and 90s, as (mentioned this on PCEFX forum) at that time in the UK there was a network of hardcore gamers who used to swap and sell games. At the time not many other 14 year olds had consoles like the Neo Geo or a PC Engine Duo and from this a kind of network developed through the country where you could trade games with each other. It was all done mainly over the phone, but sometimes I'd travel and meet in person.

Yeah I met the guy who ran the Neo Geo Owners Club, his name escapes me, he came and bought some Neo Geo games from me over those years.

Yes please do it! I love old fanzines, the more we get archived the better, especially PCE related ones.
