    GamePro wasn’t my favorite magazine but there’s no doubt it was one of the most popular. Personally, I preferred EGM. It always seemed to me that GamePro was aiming for a slightly younger audience than EGM. The May 1994 issue of GamePro includes:

  • Edge (April 1994)

    Edge was a gaming magazine that covered 16 and 32-bit consoles as well as the PC. I guess it was sort of a U.K. version of Next Generation if I had to compare it to something. The April 1994 issue includes:

    • News – Once again Edge takes the lid of the world of interactive entertainment with top info from Japan, London and Milton Keynes
    • This month on Edge – A new feature to the mag in which we bring you some of the quirkier stories and events which occurred during the course of Edge 7
    • Letters – A chance to air your views on all things technological, interactive or electronic
    • Prescreen – Edge takes a pre-pro look at some of the more innovative games heading to a screen near you. Top billing goes to Sega’s Daytona coin-op.
    • Elite Systems – For over a decade, Elite have been making games; now they’re getting into Super FX, PC and 3DO
    • LaserActive – Pioneer’s LaserActive system promises the gameplay of Mega Drive with the visuals of LaserDisc. But does it deliver?
    • PC – The PC has steadily grown from spreadsheet pusher to polygon shifter. But the hardware is starting to show its age. Edge reveals all
    • Testscreen – Edge passes judgement on the current crop of games. And, as ever, no punches are pulled
    • Charts – The best-selling videogames on the top formats
    • Recommended Reading – The magazine equivalent of a London phonebox
    • Back Issues – An incomplete set of Edge is a crime. Sort it.
    • Subscription – If you’re reading this, you’re already hooked. Make it easy on yourself and get Edge delivered.
    • Jez San – Edge speaks to the self-confessed “information sponge” about all things interactive: from NESGlider to set top boxes
    • Questions & Answers – Technology demystified: is Jaguar up to the new competition? Can CD32 play PC games?

    …and more!
