Does anybody remember an e-mag back in the late '90s called The Enigmag? I believe it was distributed on an AOL keyword, but I'm not entirely sure. It was in the form of a standalone executable that ran in DOS. I was rummaging through some of my old floppies and came across issue #2. It got me wondering if anyone else here remembers it and/or knows where to find the other issue(s). I don't think it lasted for very long. Maybe two or three issues at most. In any case, I thought it was a neat piece of gaming mag history. :D

I've uploaded the executable here if anyone wants to check it out: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nyj0w56z0yqg7sr/enigmag2.zip/file

The file date is 1996, so not far off. ;) 

The MK Temple/Hideout sounds familiar. I visited all kinds of MK sites back in the day, but I mainly frequented MK Online and TRMK. I don't know if you've heard of the Mortal Kombat Bible, but I'm the guy that created that. It still needs a lot of work. I'd like to finish it one of these days.

Btw, is this the site you're talking about? https://blueflame.tripod.com/index.html

That MIGHT be a super early screen from said site; this is absolutely it circa mid 2004 when I joined: https://web.archive.org/web/20040727101945/http://mktemple.com/

MK Bible as in the legendary text file from back in the day? If so, I absolutely had that saved to my computer.
