PSExtreme Issue 10 (September 1996)

I can still remember the day that I picked this issue up at Electronics Boutique when I was a kid.  Lots of interesting content in this one, including reviews of Tekken 2 and Crash Bandicoot (both eagerly awaited at the time), and it was the largest issue to date with a noticeably glossier/thicker cover stock.

Really glad that it brings you good memories!

Electronics Boutique brings back memories. There was a mall I visited that had one, plus a Software Ect. that I would go to. I got my 3DO machine there in 1995 for $400, and then later they dropped the price to $300. I even qualified to get the difference back! So, I picked up Wing Commander III for $75 at that time. I still remember the price to this day because it was the most expensive retail game I paid for at the time. I wanted it bad.

Electronics Boutique, Software Etc, and Babbages were my go-to game stores in the 90s.  Each had their own vibe, with Software Etc feeling the most like a "high-end" software store (with the highest prices that I recall), Babbages with their unique brightly-lit accordion style shelf layout, and EB feeling the most hardcore at the time, with its dimly lit interiors.  When Gamestop swallowed them up, a little piece of my childhood died.
