Interesting Stuff:
-
Listing every piece of software and hardware reviewed in the "Holiday Blow Out" section would have made this index the size of the magazine itself. If it came out in 1996 and was any good at all, it was mentioned in this issue.
-
The GT Interactive games and sweepstakes ad takes up 10 pages, which could not have been cheap.
-
Of course, compared to the 15 pages that EA bought to hawk their six new titles, it was probably chump change.
-
And then there's the 16-page Total Entertainment Network special advertising section, making EA look like penny-pinchers...
-
And the 15 pages worth of ad space Activision bought up for their "Buy 2, Get 2" promotion.
-
And Sierra's 12-page "Buy 2, Get a 3rd Free" ad.
-
No wonder this issue clocks in at 444 pages, with all these companies buying up such huge chunks of real estate.
-
Pie Jackers is a pizza delivery-themed racing game featuring the voice talents of Cheech Marin and Cyndi Lauper. Yes, this really got made.
-
Reviewer Colin Williamson refers to Microsoft's Hellbender as "even more Terminal Veolcity-style shoot-em-up action, from the people who brought you Minesweeper."
-
Despite being reviled as a terrible piece of software, Harvester scored a solidly upper-class review from Scott Wolf.
-
The reviewers gave Quake a score of 90% and the Editors' Choice badge, and people still wrote in to gripe about the "negative" review it received. Good lord. Can you say "cultists"?
-
The review index is a phenomenal resource for game historians looking to see what was said about specific titles without having to comb through every single issue produced that year.
