Notable Stuff:

  • In the PC-themed print publication world, PC Gamer is the ultimate dinosaur: created in 1994, and still in print today as one of the last surviving periodicals of the computer gaming world. This is issue #1. This is history.
  • I'm sure the lucky winner of the Front Page Sports: Baseball contest felt even luckier when the 1994 World Series was cancelled due to a strike by the MLB Players Association. 😆
  • All the letters from this issue come courtesy of the fact PC Gamer used to be PC Entertainment magazine. They used their mail room backstock to fill the column this time, but next time they'll be looking for your letters addressed specifically to them.
