I've never even heard of this magazine. Was it an offshoot/continuation of Dimension PS-X, or published by the same people? :)

If you look at the advertisement in this issue (page 46), they mention launching both Dimension PS-X and Dimension Saturn in the upcoming month.  Same crew (Dave Winding, Gregg Off, Tim Lindquist, Zach Meston) who went on with Dimension PS-X and some of which were part of the original Gamefan magazine staff.  Looks like Dimension-3 was their attempt to go independent before settling in with the long-running Playstation publication.

Quite the surprise as a was a regular subscriber to Dimension PS-X/PS Extreme.  Does anyone know if Dimension Saturn ever happened?

I remember a short-lived N64 spinoff in 1996/97 called "Q64" I believe.  Don't think it lasted more than a few issues, and I never picked it up myself.

Just found the answer to my previous question.  In the mail section of Issue 6, they discuss putting the Sega Saturn magazine on hold to evaluate the market situation.  I'll assume that the situation never changed and they would end up putting 100% of their efforts into Dimension PS-X, later renamed to PS Extreme.

This mag comes from about 5-6 people that help start and worked on GameFan up to the first 2.5 years, for some of them. All their names are in the comment section of Issue #2 from me. Thats why they have all the big high-quality screenshots -- because that's what they did in GameFan.

Highlights from this Issue: You get the big 4-page Need For Speed (pc) review, along with FX Fighter (pc), Hi-Octane, and Full Throttle, all 4-pages. Ultimate Doom has a review, along with Doom II on Mac. And we see a preview of Willam Shatner's Tek War. Dark Forces gets a 97% on Mac, and the 3DO gets reviews of Wing Commander 3 and Syndicate, but they didn't score very high (79, 72%). Its a smaller mag at only 84-pages, but it has some good coverage.
