PSExtreme Issue 49 (December 1999)

Just making sure to keep my friend @StrykerOfEnyo happy! 

I am SOOO happy. Another great issue with some promise that #50 will be huge. We have a big interview with Insomniac Games, and a review of Spyro: Riptor's Rage. We also got reviews of Medal of Honor (all ps1 games), Quake 2, Test Drive 6, Pong, Army Men Air Attack, Rat Attack, Shadow Tower, GTA 2 (plus interview), Dukes of Hazard, and 9 sports titles. Every game gets at least a full-page review, with some getting a 2-page spread. We are getting to the end of the big PS1 games by this point. Some coming up are things like Twisted Metal 4 and Cool Boarders 4, not bad games, but after yearly installments they are getting a bit stale. Great quality scan, worth a download.

I was a subscriber back in the day. Always enjoyed the more personal vibe the writers had versus most of the other magazines of the day. I followed Dave, Gregg, Zach and the rest of the crew during my formative years in a way that felt like a kid hanging out with a group of older friends who taught me a great deal about the hobby and industry.

Yeah, Gregg Off, Dave Winding, Eric Winding, David Castillo -- I followed a lot of their projects. GameFan, Dimension-3, and Q64. Another group I loved was from the later issues of Game Players (1993). Bill Burchell (?), Frank O'Conner and the others had a lot of fun during that run. Their humor was great.
