He also says that releasing another cartridge-based console is so stupid it might be subterfuge, and that the Ultra 64 might be secretly CD-based.

Almost every printed letter is people saying they like the magazine, and they think the magazine is good.

They keep trying to put Magic Carpet in the same sentence as Ultima or Doom in talking about PC gaming, and it's clearly because they bought a ton of ad space.

Seriously what the gently caress is Magic Carpet.

Every issue, without exception, has had a preview for Virtua Fighter 2 or an article about its development. No wonder it was the 6th-greatest game of all time.

its like one of those early-3d air combat games where you fly around an open space, except instead of being a jet or a spaceship you're on a magic carpet. i don't know why anybody would ever compare it to Ultima or Doom

The copy for an ad for Kirby's Dream Land 2, in full:

"What's that smell? Oh, it's your butt, sizzling, scorched, and smoking. You made the tragic mistake of thinking Kirby's new buds were harmless stuffed animals. Man, were you burned. This is Kirby's Dream Land 2 for Game Boy and Super Game Boy and you're in the hot seat. Kirby's scraped under the desk of the animal kingdom and come up with a handful of down and dirty allies. They may look adorable, but they make Kirby deadlier than ever. Meet the owl that slings boomerang feathers. Shake fins with a fish that lets Kirby swallow under water. Kneel before the hamster that coughs up white-hot spheres of justice. "Cuddly"? Hardly. So hike up that asbestos underwear and watch your language."
