Interesting Stuff:
-
OPM's "Letter of the Month" from Michelle PInda (sic) of Elkhart, Indiana takes the 'zine to task for a humour-themed article they ran in their June 1999 issue which encouraged kids to "Make their own Resident Evil 3" by destroying everyday household objects and setting them on fire.
-
The "News" section reprints a condensed version of an article which ran originally in the Chicago Sun Times, penned by the late Roger Ebert, where he interviews George Lucas about the director's enthusiasm for the forthcoming PlayStation 2.
-
Freshly-minted Lara Croft live model Lara Weller apparently ran away from a horde of slavering fanboys at this year's E3.
-
How well-received was Rayman, one of the PlayStation's US launch titles? Well, in May 1999, over four years after the system's launch, it was the 18th best-selling game for the console, and up from 19th place the month before. That's some serious staying power!
-
Reviewer and former Editor-in-Chief Wataru Maruyama won the Agetec Fighter Maker contest at E3.
