Holiday issues in the mid 90s use to be like a rural county phone book in thickness. One of the reasons why they split off to make EGM2 was due to size. Also EGM2 would focus slightly more on import games.

The only one I felt really nailed being multimedia while still being a gaming mag was OPM.

EGM use to have a gaming aptitude test you had to pass to work for them. Writing was really second to gaming skill. But when ZD bought them out they started to require their writers to have college degrees. This move would ripple across games journalism for years to come. So you end up with journalist who would rather work for The Times or something but have to hack it writing about games they don't give a shit about.

I wonder what Bill Donohue is up to these days. I wonder if he finally fled the Bay Area/California.

Anyway. Does anyone have that image of the girl from Dino Crisis skipping rope? It was in a PSM magazine and posted here before.
