Issue 7 March 2000 had two pages of Jingaroo outback dreamtime adventures presents "Croco-vile the Nightmare King" part 2. It is considered an advertisement and not listed on the contents page. It also says check next issue for more of the story.

Won the first issue of PSX Magazine!

BEFORE it was called PC Gamer, BEFORE it was called Game Players PC Entertainment, BEFORE it was called Game Player's Strategy Guide to PC Games...it was called Game Player's MS-DOS Strategy Guide, The Game Player's Guide to MS-DOS Computer Games, and Game Player's PC Buyer's Guide. At least, we think so. Most of those early issues have never been seen in the wild, so it's a little unclear exactly what was going on with all the name changes. But I want 'em.

There was lesser known magazine in the 90's (can't recall the name) that had Game Genie codes which claimed to allow you to play the bosses in Street Fighter II on SNES but I never found a working code online except one that caused a player 2 to glitch as a random boss. This magazine had images of the code working on SNES (could have been photoshopped).

I don't normally hype stuff I'm working on in advance, but I just scanned something that'll probably make all of you Nintendo fanboys very happy. Think: Japan's most famous mag, from the golden age of the Famicom's lifecycle. This issue was published before there was an EGM, before there was a Gamepro, before even Nintendo Power had arrived on the scene. The review crew takes a look at Contra and there's a special 2-page review of Final Fantasy. Here's a peek at what was selling in America in January 1988: And here's my (rough) translation of the commentary on the sidebar (I'm not fluent, people). They seem amused that a shitty game like Top Gun was so high on the charts. There's a reason why the rankings are as you see them. Top Gun really IS doing well. This is a good example of name value. One of the factors in a game's success in America seems to be that the name is well known, such as a game that was a big hit in arcades or one with a celebrity's name attached. There aren't many Americans who haven't heard of Top Gun. That's why it's selling. Mike Tyson, too. And then there's "President Reagan's Absurd Big Advance (attack)"...or is there not such a thing? I can't tell if that was some kind of sick burn or not. Looking at the Japanese sales charts this issue, the only games in their top 10 that were ever even released in America are Final Fantasy (#7) and Mike Tyson's Punch-Out (#10) - the rest never made it stateside.
