Expert Gamer Issue 88 (October 2001)

Issue 88 has a feature, "Game Then,,, An Expert Gamer Retrospective," where they show all 88 issues of Expert Gamer magazine that have released up to this point. For those that don't know, Issues #1-49 were called EGM2. Then the mag changed names, but the numbering system continued, so Expert Gamer actually starts with Issue #50, and they show each mag up until this one, #88. There are a few highlights for certain issues, but all have a list of games covered, and its 14 pages long. Its a nice look back across the many years, and the name change let them stand on their own and reach more readers.

Other highlights include Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) with 12 pages of coverage and color maps. Dragon Warrior III has 9 pages with a few full-color illustrations, charts for weapons and armor and spells, but also a list of all tiny medal locations. There's an ad for SOBE with Oddworld Munch's Odysee, only on Xbox. A nice ad for Corn Nuts, and one for a week-long event on Toonami (Cartoon Network) with some nice color and detail on their mascot.  Worth a look.
