We have the 1989 Buyer's Guide in the Cover Gallery as Issue 0. The general consensus among anyone who is into gaming magazines is that the May 1989 issue is Issue 1. Some other magazines have had Issue 0s as some sort of preview or test issue. Official Dreamcast Magazine did this if I recall correctly. Seems like EGM did things a bit screwy for their first several issues. The Buyer's Guide is referred to as the 1989 Buyer's Guide in the masthead and issue 1 is referred to as the 1989 Preview Guide, both of which they say they publish annually as a reference directory to EGM. Then they published issue 5 as the 1990 Video Game Buyer's Guide, 7 as Top Score and issue 15 as the 1991 Video Game Buyer's Guide. They didn't get consistent until November 1990.

Database/file mistakes & problems I've noticed

New cover image for that database entry has been created and the list of the 10 special issues added to the blurb on this matter. It's finally nice to have this conundrum sorted and finalized. -

Ha! And I am certain I knew this somehow because of something EGM printed in their magazine around the time GamePro started printing issue numbers on the cover criticizing them for this move. And they are not wrong. I don't think they should be counted in the main issue count. But that is what they did so we have to reflect that. Now, what are those 10 issues? The Adventures of GamePro Issue 1 (June 1990) The Adventures of GamePro Issue 2 (January 1991) The Adventures of GamePro Issue 3 (August 1991) GamePro Presents Handheld Video Games (Spring 1991) GamePro Presents Handheld Video Games (October/November 1991) GamePro's 16-Bit Video Gaming (February 1992) GamePro's 16-Bit Video Gaming (May 1992) GamePro's 16-Bit CD-ROM Video Gaming (January 1993) Video Game Greatest Hits (July/August 1991) GamePro's Celebrity Video Gamers (August/September 1991) These all appeared well before they fudged the issue numbers, so I am guessing it has to be these ten, especially since they mention The Adventures of GamePro in their response. I guess that means that The Cutting Edge which has a cover date of Spring 1996 is not part of the 10 and was put out after the decision to change the issue count. The funny thing is they never changed the issue count in their masthead fine print. The Volume/Issue count between between March and April 1996 keep going sequentially. Anyhow, I think it's safe to include that list of 10 issues on the database entry for issues 81-90. I think we have all the covers, so I will put something together with all 10 covers to replace what we are using now. -

Dangit. Thanks for flagging this. There is always a risk of this when manually scanning a magazine. I'll get this fixed today.
