That issue was the very first EGM I saw. I think its still up in the attic at my parents house but its missing the cover.
Does anyone know what happened to the editor Steve Harris? Didn't he sell his interest int he magazine at some point?
Yes, but so did everyone at this point.
I think he and Ed Semrad, among others, are associated with the latest "retro" magazine that used kickstarter.
You're thinking of Mike Kennedy. Steve Harris actually bought the EGM name back and is publishing it again, but from what I've seen, it's not even as good as the last Ziff Davis years. The quality and personality of writers is really bad.
