Sounds familiar. I think it might've been a user submitted art piece in Game Players or maybe a cover for a Gamepro issue.

Well, there was a particularly lovingly-crafted piece of reader art submitted to either Gamepro, Game Players, EGM, or Diehard Gamefan that featured Scorpion threatening Liebuttmunch. Hard to remember.

i just verified it was from the magazine Video Games The Ultimate Gaming Magazine, but the oldest issue on this website is 56. Hopefully some day it will be on here.

That's interesting. I thought it started at 56 because it was spun off from "Video Games & Computer Entertainment" which ends at issue 55.

Is that not the case?

maybe i was wrong about it being on the cover of the magazine then. i'll figure this out once i get them downloaded.

I've never seen the image in question, but the idea of it being on the cover of any video game magazine strikes me as incredibly unlikely. Game mags aren't that political. Their primary audience back then was kids, and kids don't want to buy magazines with Joe Lieberman's face on the cover. It could have appeared in an article, but a cover? I doubt it.

I'd love to see that cover. Just the fact that a cover like that possibly exists is hysterical in itself!

I don't recall any issue with this depicted on the cover.  And you may have confused Senator Joe Lieberman with California State Attorney General Daniel Lungren.  If so, you'll find what you're looking for in the February 1994 issue of Video Games: The Ultimate Magazine.  Page 10.

This might be what my faded memory was thinking about. If the state attorney replies in a follow up issue that his nephew showed him the image then I'll know it was what I was thinking about.
