    The mid to late 1990s was one of the most prolific times in video game history. 16-bit systems were still going strong, as well as 32-bit systems from the established Nintendo and Sega. In addition, there was the new kid on the block, Sony, with their PlayStation. This issue of GamePro from August 1997 is a good representation of the chaos that was gaming in the late 1990s.

    Tips & Tricks evolved out of VideoGames which itself morphed from VideoGames & Computer Entertainment. While VG&CE was my favorite video game magazine, I never paid much attention to the other two. VideoGames was never as good and while “tips & tricks” were nice, that was never my favorite aspect of the magazine. Having said that, if you wanted game codes and strategies, there was really no better place to go than Tips & Tricks. The November 1997 issue includes:

    GamePro, along with Electronic Gaming Monthly, was one of the most popular video games magazines of the late 1980s and 1990s. I never liked GamePro as much as EGM or my favorite, VideoGames & Computer Entertainment, but it was still a good magazine. The July 1992 issue includes:
