GameFan Volume 5 Issue 3 (March 1997)

that's a high quality scan!

This is a great issue for First-Person Shooter fans. PowerSlave (ps1), Tenka (ps1), Turok (n64), Doom 64 (n64, Doom (sat), and Hexen (sat) -- with many games having a 2-page layout beside the small review page strip., There are a number of previews, like Wild Arms, Rally Cross, Vandal Hearts, City of Lost Children, and Broken Helix. They review Fighter's MegaMix (sat) which NEVER got ported to another console, and Soviet Strike on the Saturn. So much content, including reviews of many Japan versions of games, like Enemy Zero, and Shining the Holy Ark, Toukon Retsuden 2. We even have a look at the Battle Arena Toshinden anime movie. A very high-quality scan as well. Superb layouts and color balance. This is GameFan at its best.

There's also a preview for one of my favorite games, Sentient (ps1), a game I bought cheap. I walked around a space station, I pushed some buttons on a wall panel, and I couldn't figure what to do. Then 5 mins later, the whole station BLOWS UP. I never went back, but I like to think my actions actually killed everybody. It was probably scripted, but who knows. I just never got back to the game. One day, perhaps.
