A question for the casual retro fans.

This is a fun question for the casual lover of retro gaming. As someone who loves retro gaming and is not a retro magazine collector, Which magazine issues do you think most people recognize right away

This one comes to mind.

^^ the fist issue of NP is easily the most sought-after issue of its entire run. I would argue that it is the most recognizable video game magazine issue there is.

 

otherwise, i feel like it's more personal preference. there's a bunch of recognizable EGM or GamePro covers, but it's going to vary based on which games/systems you're a fan of, when you were exposed to VG magazines, and age.

Nintendo Power was common when I was a young kid, but once it was the age of the SNES and Genesis and Turbo Duo, transitioning into the PSX/Saturn/N64 really Game Players comes to my mind.  It was what I would casually see in a book store or in Lucky's/Frys/Safeway for magazines.  Never once saw any Nintendo Power's there.
