Apparently 3DO is still considered significant on some level?

WOW JELLY SLAMMERS

Huh. Didn't know it was in the works for that long.

The underwater cannon fuse stumped me as a kid.

>Please stop coverage of Virtual Boy due to the fact that it is very unpopular with me and my friends and every living thing on this planet.

Published without comment by Nintendo Power. The first official sign of surrender!

>you need more fun things
>Like making fun of games

Don't worry Joey, you're already in the right place and will be buried in that kind of material soon enough.

The DKC envelope is credited to "Name and address unknown". Could this be the month when they've snuck in TWO Naomi Chibas?

Something that always gets me about Disney's Pinocchio is that the fox only goes by Honest John in the movie itself, but things like storybooks say that his name is Foulfellow. Pick a name and stick with it, Disney.

Oops, I passed out last night and I forgot all about finishing this.

More later.

>Leslie and Dan, the two "Pro Players" who prefer puzzle games
>neither one gave a pick to Donkey Kong GB
>but Henry and Terry saw it was awesome
>instead Dan liked Street Fighter Alpha 2, and Ms. Pac-Man
>Leslie had no likes unless the second Terry star for Mario Paint was supposed to be all black
>Leslie and Terry are supposed to be the RPG fans
>neither liked Lufia 2
>Scott, big fan of Sports, Simulations, and Adventure games, recommends SFA2, Mortal Kombat Trilogy on N64, and Mario Paint
There had to be some misprints here. I don't see Paul or Leslie's mark anywhere.

Only 43 issues are now missing.

Is that not insanely slow?

It always confused me that roads even existed in SimCity. They're cheaper than tracks, but not by much I think. Is there any reason to use them? I never bothered as a kid. It seems like an odd choice for the developers to give the player, between perfect non-polluting trains and disgusting traffic-clogged roads.

Fire stations, schools, and hospitals seem strangely useless as well. It's a good game but it's got some weird choices in it.

I don't remember this render at all

this cracks me up because these maps are like next to useless
so its funny thinking of the salty old guide writers being like
>how the FUCK are we supposed to map out games in 3D??

>>8628201
Probably another misprint. Not sure where they pulled that number from though.
>Rambus DRAM on a shared 9-bit bus with 562.5 MB/s peak bandwidth
>Rom cartridge bus running at 264 MB/s

It's funny and unfortunate that Titus has taken over so much of the SNES coverage in these last few issues. Prince of Persia 2, at least, seems like a pretty cool game. But according to this surprisingly entertaining YouTube video I just watched, its SNES port is actually garbage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlrDnxDAEdw

I guess Realm looks okay though?
