    VideoGames: The Ultimate Gaming Magazine was a revamp of VideoGames & Computer Entertainment. However, I always felt it was a much worse magazine. VG&CE was one of my favorites whereas the new iteration was a GamePro wannabe. Still, all magazines from this era were pretty enjoyable…even this one. The February 1994 issue includes:

  • GamePro (May 1994)

    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:

    • Letter from the GamePros
    • The Mail
    • The Cutting Edge – Virtuality is back! Check out Zone Hunter and more from the virtual wizards at W Industries.
    • Hot at the Arcades – NBA Jam Tournament Edition, Super Street Fighter II Turbo, Power Instinct, and Alien vs. Predator
    • Special Feature: Shooters! – ProReviews of Tempest 2000 (Jaguar), Sub-Terrania (Genesis), Grindstomer (Genesis), Rebel Assault (Sega CD), and Microcosm (Sega CD). Previews of Super R-Type III (SNES) and SoulStar (Sega CD).
    • Cover Feature: The Making of Mortal Kombat II – Inside the minds that brough us Fatalities, Babalities, and incredible digitized graphics.
