    Issue #2 is back on ebay again, if you can fathom the $99.95 price tag. At least I now have tangible proof that the Mario drawing I mentioned was actually real.

    God I miss EGM's "fuck you" attitude, it'd be great to have in this era of corporate monstrosities.

    Pocket Gamer (the Future US publication) actually has at least 2 issues, the second one being one I have in my basement somewhere. I'd send it in to be scanned but it's in pretty terrible condition.

    If you're confused by my comment remember what the game on the cover was ultimately released as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ride_to_Hell:_Retribution

    ...no comment.

    Those were the early days of strategy guides where you couldn't use any official images so you had to just make stuff up. (I remember seeing a bunch of resold Pokemon cards at places like K-Mart where none of the creatures on the packaging were real Pokemon) I assume this is also what led to GamePro and their infamously off-model covers in their first 50 issues or so.

    Well this is just the worst cover of any gaming magazine ever

    I've been waiting for this one to be uploaded based on the cover alone

    It's nice to know Rick Schroder was always a complete tool.

    I remember Nintendo putting out this promotional pamphlet for upcoming GCN/GBA games around summer 2003. I have it somewhere (all I remember is the cover is blue) but it's probably in shit quality and I have no idea where it is. It had some neat oddities (games like Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy being referred to by their working titles of Sphinx and the Shadow of Set and ESPionage).

    "2001: The Best is Yet to Come!" on a Dreamcast magazine... I'll take Covers That Aged Poorly for 500, Alex.

    Weird, I checked that issue and the feature didn't appear to be in it.

    Why is this in the Xbox section when it was published by Sony

    I've recently remembered another magazine I had that I can't seem to put my finger on. It was maybe handheld based (possibly Pocket Games) but so far if it was it isn't any of the issues here. All I really remember is it had a walkthrough for Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure/XS and during it they made a joke about one of the levels being named Air Supply after the horrible band. It might've been some sort of Nintendo fan mag but I don't have any details other than what I mentioned.

    I definitely had this. Also seeing the cover reminded me of a magazine I had that I can't seem to identify. I think it had a handheld focus since it featured a walkthrough on the Crash Bandicoot GBA game. Maybe it was a UK magazine, the Barnes & Noble where I live stocks quite a few of those.

    Another cancelled game that got a cover. Shame this one never came out.

    This magazine had lower production quality than the average late 90s Cash Money album cover huh

    "Devil May Cry 2" and "masterpiece" should only be used in the same sentence if the phrase "is far, far from a" is between them.
  19. mvangord
    I'm just confused because the issue was supposedly cancelled just before release but the digital version has the layout of the revival instead of what they were using at the time with the letter grades. Edit: nvm I'm thinking about the February 09 issue

    For consistency reasons (and the fact that it screws up the chronologic listing) this should probably be renamed issue 20 (it's issue 8 of volume 2).

    I remember reading part of this issue when a friend at a summer program I went to had it. Nice to see it finally here!

    Pages 107-115 are missing. Also there's a little warping on the ad on page 67.

    I figured "Nintendo Kennel Club" would've been a dead giveaway.

    It's about as direct as you can get without outright stating it

    Super Mario 64 Game Secrets Unauthorized
    I had this. Nice to see some of the "we can't license any official images" era of strategy guides on this site. I also had the BradyGames guide which was slightly better since it didn't devote tons of page space to a bunch of GamePro-ass comic book people. Also this guide refers to a Shy Guy as a "ghost Koopa".
