    Game Player’s Magazine consisted of numerous publications dedicated to various systems. The Game Player’s Encyclopedias were large volumes typically dedicated to one system (or at least one company’s systems) that contained summaries, reviews and strategies of lots of games. The contents wasn’t necessarily of great quality but it was a great place to look, pre-internet, to see what a lot of games were like in one place. Volume 4 of Game Player’s Encyclopedia of Nintendo Games includes:

    Electronic Gaming Monthly – Issue Number 28 – November 1991

    Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM for short) was one of the best gaming magazines of all time. The years between 1991 and 1996 or so were the best. I think the first issue I ever bought was the December 1991 issue so this is from just before then. The November 1991 issue includes:
