The June 1999 issue of The Official U.S. Sony PlayStation Magazine



The Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine was, as the name suggests, the official U.S. publication for the PlayStation (and later PS2). This issue from June 1999 is from just a few months before the PS2 was released and near the height of the PS1’s popularity. This issue includes:

  • Resident Evil 3 Nemesis – We have more info than anyone else on this title, including exclusive screenshots, producer interviews, character sketches and details of the story line.
  • E3 Previews – Our pre-E3 coverage this month includes Crash Team Racing, Jurassic Park, Warpath, WCW Mayhem, and WWF Attitude, among others.
  • Gex 3 Strategy – With more than 1,700 items to collect to get the best ending in Gex 3, you may want to check out our handy strategy guide to help you along your way.
  • Dino Crisis – If you think the zombies in Resident Evil are scary, wait until you see the dinosaurs in Dino Crisis, Capcom’s latest survival horror game.
  • Letters – We provide an update on last month’s Silent Hill strategy, tell the fate of a boy caught with a copy of OPM during class and answer the all-important question of whether the PS is Y2K compliant.
  • News – All the latest from the Tokyo Game Show, Metal Gear Solid gets even better, more on the emulation wars, a lawsuit against video game companies and much more.
  • Previews – We monkey around with Sony’s Ape Escape, and take a look at Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, Jade Cocoon, NFL Xtreme, Alexi Lalas International Soccer and Tomorrow Never Dies.
  • International – Previewed this month are Bust A Groove 2, UmJammer Lammy, Racing Lagoon, Secret of Mana, Front Mission 3 and Crimusha, Capcom’s exciting new horror game.
  • Reviews – Street Fighter Alpha 3, Baseball 2000, MLB 2000, Ehrgeiz, Fighter Maker, Bloody Roar 2, 3Xtreme and Rampage 2: Universal Tour are reviewed by our lovely editors.
  • Tricks – We dug up the Secret Character and Double Ammo cheats for Resident Evil this month, as well as Bust A Groove, NFL Blitz, Contender and Need For Speed: High Stakes codes.
  • g.e.a.r. – There’s lots of groovy and gory Resident Evil stuff in g.e.a.r. this month, including new figures and a handheld version of the game, along with a flat-speaker stand-alone sound system.
  • Demo Disc – This demo disc has something for everyone. Playable R4 and NFL Blitz for the sports fans, Elmo’s Letter Adventure for the kids and Abe’s Exoddus for those who like flatulence.
