Interesting Stuff:

  • There's a tribute to actor and voice-over artist Phil Hartman's passing on page 24.
  • The teaser poster for the Tomb Raider movie has shown up in theaters. There's a small picture of it on page 25.
  • Football (Soccer) games dominate the charts in both the UK and Japan. North American gamers, on the other hand, couldn't care less. Baseball and basketball games are the big sellers this month.
  • Proofreader alert! In the Silent Hill preview, we learn the game's foggy environments are for atmosphere, not due to system "kimitations".
  • Between pages 50 and 51, there's a special sheet of 4 Ninja: Shadow of Darkness postcards bound into the magazine.
  • The preview for Brave Fencer Musashi includes a sidebar explaining who the real Miyamoto Musashi was.
  • The ad for Alien Resurrection says it's coming this Fall, but it wasn't actually released for another two years.
  • Gunnm is the Japanese title for the anime we know in the US as Battle Angel Alita.
  • Doki Doki Pretty League was based on the movie A League of Their Own, which was re-titled Pretty League for its Japanese release. The game has you managing an all-female baseball team.
  • Searching the S.T.A.R.S. desk in Resident Evil 2 fifty times to find that cringe-worthy picture of Rebecca Chambers' head Photoshopped onto some poor Japanese teenager's body has to be one of the weirdest Easter Eggs in PS1 history.
