Notable Stuff:

  • EGM2 features Pac-Man on their 1-900-PRE-VIEW news line with the caption, "Feeling A Little Behind The Times?"
  • ASCII really goes all out on the gore talk in their Clock Tower ad: "It's one thing to take a bullet like a man, but how does one take 3-foot long, razor sharp scissors? How do you avert decapitation and keep your entrails from spilling all over the kitchen floor?" Jesus Christ, guys...!
  • You know, if you're reading a magazine to find out what's new on a gaming website...you're doing it wrong. Sorry.
  • Midway must have been very desperate to get people to buy San Francisco Rush (N64), because the same full-page ad runs in the magazine twice.
