-
Sega Games Preview II is available, but unfortunately we don't have video links for it here at Retromags. Yet. Any loyal readers out there who shelled out their $7.00 back in the day? We'd like to hear from you.
-
Only two slots instead of four to sign up friends for the newsletter.
-
Power Strike (SMS) is still only available via ordering through the newsletter.
-
It takes WAY more than $5-worth of effort to claim the $5 Phantasy Star rebate. Just saying.
-
Features ads from Toys 'R Us, Activision third-party titles, Child World/Children's Palace, and TSR's boardgame "I Think You Think I Think".
