That first week of every month, I would go the local stationery store, but the gaming mag/s and get some Doritos and soda with it.

Those were the days.

I wish some of those prints survived the digital era.

Gamepro had my favorite Rating system. I remember the competition between OPM and PSM and then they merged I think during the PS2 era.

PSM and Tips and Tricks always had the best Cover Art with the guest artist. Joe Madureira was the cover king at that time.

Some of my other faves -

And one for the old Tips and Tricks

When I go home later this year, I'll get a pic of all my mags for ya'll. Especially my favorite issue of Gamepro ever. I might have to see if there's a pdf of it.

GamePro taught me what the word "nullify" meant when explaining what happened when 2 fireballs met in Street Fighter 2

Joint's priced at > 200 Euros. The SANWA arcade sticks are expensive but the rest of package is just an emulator with only 16 games. rolleyes

 

[joe billionaire]

It’s cool, way expensive I read it might unmoddable. Idk I was heavy into street fighter 4 and I bought a sanwa stick it worked great but that’s the only game I’d want to play with it. As a kid I was more into renting games than playing them on the arcade. I mean I would buy my folks would only give me a buck.

Diddy Kong racing >>>> Mario kart 64

No issue here, I have always felt Diddy Kong Racing didn't get the amount of widescale love it deserved.

Soundtrack was nice.
