Some wild stuff in the Other News section of this magazine about Street Fighter III. The game would not even be released till 1997 almost 4 years after this magazine was on newsstands.  The lineup was supposed to be Ryu, Sagat & 14 new characters (two of which would be Chun Li's younger sister and M. Bison's mentor name Shadow Lu)

I wonder if this is something they actually got from Capcom, or they just completely made this up? Even Street Fighter Alpha wouldn't hit arcades for another 2 years.

This was the first issue at 100 pages. I remember owning this one. I loved the layouts with full-color images in the background like for Blaster Master 2, and the huge number of screenshots for games like Time Gal and Anette Again. It really left an impression, and I always wondered if all that extra ink added a lot to the cost. I don't remember another mag at the time that used so many screenshots around the edges of a page. There are some instances of words being hard to read because of the background colors clashing with the font color. This does happen a number of times in this magazine, especially the early years. I sometimes wonder if they had access to tools that would let them soften or blur images, or be able to add additional text boxes around words to help separate them. In the early 90s, I've heard some publisher programs just didn't have certain tools like that back then. Lots of great imports in this issue, like from WolfTeam. Im not sure if we know who Skid, Sgt Gamer, Tom Slick, and The Enquirer are at this point. I know E. Storm is Dave Haleverson himself, but cant remember if the early avatars have been identified.
