This is a much-improved scan. This issue had some hard-to-read text for me -- they used a serif font and they squeezed the letters together a bit too much for my taste in certain places. It's not always an issue, but sometimes the white lettering on a darker background is harder to read comfortably. I don't know if this problem exists when looking at the physical pages, but having a cleaner scan really helps. You can zoom in more now, making it much more legible.

Some highlights from the issue: In the Addams Family Values they confirm that the baby's name is Pubert, something that gained some traction when Gavin Free of Achievement Hunter mentioned it during a Let's Play. You get a preview of Ogre Battle (6 pages) and Secret of Evermore (4 pages). You get custom-made maps for Brandish, covering 10 areas in the Ruins. There's 8 pages of sports, but the big highlight is "The Dream Team," 6-pages on an early look at the team behind the Ultra 64 with screenshots of the technology at the time, and developers that were working on projects. There is the Earthworm Jim "Wrong Cheat Code," I remember entering this myself and I thought it was a fun easter egg to add this to a game back then. This is back when the reviews (Now Playing) didn't use scores, every game had a plus and minus caption. They cover Home Improvement (snes), Air Calvary (snes), Ogre Battle (snes), Pac in Time (snes), Bubsy II (gb) and more. One of the BEST parts is 2-page coverage on GoldenEye for the SNES! It looks like it was going to use the same tech from Donkey Kong Country, pre-rendered models converted into 2D sprites. There's not much info, and any screenshots come from production on the movie set for GoldenEye, but I never knew this was how the game started.
