Put in perspective, that's equivalent to over $1,200 today. The Teleplay System was a prototype modem which would have enabled online gaming, similar to the XBAND. Unable to secure licensing rights from either Nintendo or Sega for both the hardware and software developed for it, the Teleplay System was never released. A number of products previewed in this guide were never released, or released later with substantial changes. Just because it's documented here doesn't mean it ever made it out of the planning or preview stages.

It's identical to Madden '93 in terms of graphics and controls, but features a different roster comprised of 38 of the best Super Bowl team lineups of all time from 1966 - 1991. If you've ever wondered how the '76 Raiders would fare against the '85 Bears, here's your chance. It's one of the holy grails of American Football games from the 16-bit era, and one of the few sports games to command a high price tag on today's resale market. Sports Illustrated Championship Football & Baseball is a single cart containing two games. EGM previewed them as separate titles for the purpose of this supplement, but both games come on one cartridge. Devil's Course is the Japanese title. It was released in the US as True Golf Classics: Wicked 18.
