Die Hard Game Fan Volume 1 Issue 08 (July 1993)

Dave Halverson confirms in this issue that he started Die Hard Game Club in 1990, a store that would sell, buy, and trade games in California. It also had import games, and they would have their ads in the magazine. We get this info because this is the issue that Dave rants against an allegation from EGM that they sell illegally copied games, and that they sell the games they review. I don't know why he address these rumors, but this is the issue you can find it in the Editorial page. 

The Adventures of Monitour comic feature SGT Gamer this time. I always that it was cool that the other magazine characters were featured in the comic. The colors and quality of the screenshots really stand out in this one, like Chuck Rock II, Keio Flying Squadron, and Splatterhouse Part 3. Halverson ordered high-quality RGB cables himself for all the systems, resulting in the best quality screenshots for nearly ANY magazine of the time, if not for years after this. It stands out when the grass background you have is the same texture from Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Or in the review for Goof Troop where they use the sand texture as a place to put the black text. Pages like this stood out so much in 1993-94. The page layouts were rough sometimes, but they would get progressively better throughout the first couple years. We see a few more games on the FM Towns Marty, like Force II and Tatsugen that look good. Another good issue, and 3DO coverage is coming.
