Dimension-3 Volume 1 Issue 1 (May 1995)

Damn it, dablais. I swear I'm not following you, but you keep publishing mags I want to talk about:)

Dimension-3 was an odd magazine I found a few issues years ago on the Internet Archive. They only had a handful of issues but I liked the writing. Okay, so the truth is -- on the cover they showed that they covered: "PC/CD-ROM, Mac, and Emerging Technologies." But by July of 1995 they added "3DO." I owned a 3DO at the time, so ANY magazine with 3DO coverage that I could find was a winner. I didn't have a powerful PC, but I still enjoyed their reviews. some of the highlights for this May 1995 issue is reviews for Dark Forces, Decent, Alone in the Dark 3, Rise of the Triad, Heretic, and Retubution, A few CD-ROM game reviews would also make their way to 3DO. You'll find Virtuoso, The Daedalus Encounter with Tia Carrere, and BC Racers. And a review for the original Marathon (mac) which got a 90%. I dont think this magazine lasted long, but it's nice to see them here.

Glad you liked it!  This one was a hard one to rip off, but you know at this point I decided I will do all the one I have that are not there yet.

Enjoy!  Always fun reading your comments!

This magazine and its staff went on to start Dimension PS-X in November 1995, which changed its name to PSExtreme a few months later, and that carried the same design philosophy and vibe as Dimension-3.  I was a subscriber to this magazine back in the day and always looked forward to their light-hearted but authentic editorial style and approach to covering the industry.  I guess once the Playstation launched, they bet it all on that horse and closed shop on Dimension-3, achieving some success during the next 7 or 8 years as one of a handful of North American magazines dedicated to the console.

Fun fact is that many of the magazine staff were a part of the original Gamefan magazine crew, and a bit of that style follows through in Dimension-3 and PSExtreme.
