TG16 in 1992 EGM Buyer's Guide

[Samurai Ghost]

I remember the '93 Buyer's Guide being equally awesome, but a friend bought that one and we shared to conserve our allowances, so I don't have it.  The Duo was out by then and CF2 won RPG of the year.

Ha! I have the '93 Buyer's Guide already scanned (6 years ago, sadly, sitting on my harddrive). I'll process it tonight and have it for you folks tomorrow

Awesome! Looking forward to it!

Here's a tease:

I remember getting this issue with my subscription to EGM waaaay back in the day. Am I dating myself? haha.

My buddy and I got to meet Steve Harris (Sushi-X) and Trickman Terry at MGC this year. Was fun to talk to them about the old days of EGM and how much we enjoyed reading the magazine growing up.

Here is EGM's 1993 Buyer's Guide (.pdf) (I'm just learning how to use the OCR software, so the text embedded in the .pdf is pretty garbled...)

See which TG-16 titles earned some respect from EGM editors (hint: Cosmic Fantasy 2, Air Zonk, Gate of Thunder, etc.). Also, inspect the enigmatic (and unreleased) Bonk RPG as well as the interesting category created for Dragon Knight 3 (PCE). The most interesting category? Well, that would have to be the "BEST VIDEO GAME RUMOR" (Street Fighter II as a CD-ROM for TG-CD and Sega CD! Imagine the loading times!) You might also enjoy the prescient article entitled "CDs—The Future of Video Gaming" amongst other TG-16 goodies.

If you want to get high-resolution .jpg files of individual pages, use the .pdf as a reference to change the PAGE NUMBER in the link below:

Awesome!!  The PDF looks great and reads well! 

Interesting the TG-16 got a lot of love actually, with best RPG of the year and others.

Thanks so much!

No problem. Usually I would write up the highlights (to entice lazy folks to read certain pages, at least) but I have been too busy.

Worth a look for some preview screenshots of the Bonk IV RPG. I had no idea this game had ever been planned for release...
