  1. Those were the early days of strategy guides where you couldn't use any official images so you had to just make stuff up. (I remember seeing a bunch of resold Pokemon cards at places like K-Mart where none of the creatures on the packaging were real Pokemon) I assume this is also what led to GamePro and their infamously off-model covers in their first 50 issues or so.

  2. I remember Nintendo putting out this promotional pamphlet for upcoming GCN/GBA games around summer 2003.  I have it somewhere (all I remember is the cover is blue) but it's probably in shit quality and I have no idea where it is.  It had some neat oddities (games like Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy and Psi-Ops: The Mindgate Conspiracy being referred to by their working titles of Sphinx and the Shadow of Set and ESPionage).

    Finally, my time has come to shine! :D

    This is issue #50 (SSX Tricky on the cover) from October, 2001. The feature is "PSM Makes the Ultimate RPG", with artwork by Adam Warren.

    The bad news is, we don't have a copy of this one on the site.

    The good news is, this issue was included in the lot I just posted to @MigJmz, so we have a copy in the pipeline. :)

    Weird, I checked that issue and the feature didn't appear to be in it.  

  4. I've recently remembered another magazine I had that I can't seem to put my finger on.  It was maybe handheld based (possibly Pocket Games) but so far if it was it isn't any of the issues here.  All I really remember is it had a walkthrough for Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure/XS and during it they made a joke about one of the levels being named Air Supply after the horrible band.  It might've been some sort of Nintendo fan mag but I don't have any details other than what I mentioned.

    I've been indexing a buch of Diehard GameFan/Gamefan mags lately and I found it shocking the # of games being featured that were never released. It seems to be at least one (and usually more) every issue.

    I assume Sonic X-treme was on a lot of covers too.  Maybe Thrill Kill as well even though that game was technically released (although not officially).
