The Competitor's Guide to Sports Video Games (EGM Supplement)

This 24-page EGM supplement is from around early 1999 (it seems) and has several different pages of content that match the look to the layouts in EGM itself. It looks good. You get 10 different features here – how motion-capture works, an interview with Antoine Walker, a look at the 1999 sports lineup, the History of Madden Football, the cyber athlete, the 1999 game previews, hosting your own tournament, EA Sports moments, tricks and codes, and your own Wish List. Some features are only a page long, but you do get a lot of content to read on the toilet (which is where I imagine people would read these supplements, while taking care of business), but that kinda only works with a physical copy of it, otherwise using a tablet wouldn’t be so bad. You get previews of 10 upcoming games for 1999, like Madden 99, FIFA 99, Knockout Kings, Tiger Woods 99, Live 99, NHL 99, NASCAR 99, Triple Play 99, and two college games. I love the last page, the Holiday Wish List which just has a picture of all 10 games with empty boxes for each platform so you can put your own check in it.
