Megalextoria

Source: EGM 2 – Issue Number 45 – March 1998

It’s hard to believe there was a time when magazines were so popular that one publication a month wasn’t enough for some of them. In 1994, Electronic Gaming Monthly’s hundreds of pages a month weren’t enough so a spinoff, EGM 2, was born. It only lasted about four years as the popularity of physical magazines started to wane after that. EGM 2 covered much of the same type of material as it’s parent but with no reviews and with more of an emphasis on import games.
