While VideoGames & Computer Entertainment and Electronic Gaming Monthly were my favorite video games magazines from the late 1980s through the early 1990s, Next Generation was my favorite from the mid 1990s on. It’s a shame it only lasted until 2002. The August 1995 issue includes:
- talking – Howard Lincoln – Nintendo’s president explains the delay of Ultra 64 – and why he’ll still make more money than Sega
- breaking – News – All the latest gaming information from the worlds of the coin-op and the Internet
- Arcadia (word from the coin-op world)
- Joyriding (game on the Internet)
