Notable Stuff:
-
The cheats column acquires its S.W.A.T. name starting with this issue.
-
Winners of the Excellent Nintendo Sweepstakes take home a full compliment of Activision-published NES carts: The Three Stooges, Stealth ATF., Predator, Ghostbusters, and Super Pitfall. Apparently losing this contest was the only way to win it.
-
The incorrect passwords for The Goonies II and Metroid which were printed last issue are corrected in this one.
-
The editor promises more Sega "coveage" in a response to letters requesting it. Proofreaders? We don't need no stinkin' proofreaders...
-
Last issue, a subscription to GamePro cost $19 per year, a savings of roughly 10% off the $3.50 cover price. If you bought in at that price, you're a sucker because in this issue, a subscription only costs $13.97 per year, while the cover price has gone up to $3.95. Looks like that sweet ad revenue is flowing in!
-
"The Adventures of GamePro"'s conceit basically rips off 1984's The Last Starfighter, right down to the video game mastering protagonist being named 'Alex' in both.
-
Who's bright idea was it to run the screenshot of the Metroid password in S.W.A.T. right across the gutter fold?
