Notable Stuff:

• The industry's in a state of flux, with some studios laying off workers, others being purchased as developers for other studios, and some closing down or consolidating all together. In other words, 1992 was just like today for the industry.
• The Atari Panther became vapourware after Atari decided to focus its resources on the Jaguar, making the exclusive look at its specs here a bit less newsworthy than it should have been.
• Uh...Final Fight on the SNES is not a pixel-for-pixel perfect replica of the arcade game, guys...
• There are quite a few female editors/reviewers for this magazine. Always nice to see.
