the only period in my life where i wasnt much of a gamer was 91-95, i was too busy with school and having a social life to do much button mashing, looks like i might have missed one of most interesting periods. this weekend i picked up 20some gaming mags from that era and i've been catching up- i've got copies of gamepro, nintendo power, sega visions and some defunct mag called game player. just looking at the systems masthead on gamepro tells you what a confusing era it must have been. it ranges from the SMS, NES, 7800, Genesis, Super Nintendo, Jaguar, CD-I, TG-16 and Duo, 32x, segaCD, gameboy, gamegear, lynx, NEO-GEO, 3-DO and even the cd32...i'm just getting some those systems now, ten years after.
there are lots of crazy add ons and possible vaporware popping up too, like did INTV ever make a game for the genny? did any other titles ever use the sonic and knuckles thing? sega hyped it like that cart would change the gaming world. what was the deal with the X-band modem? ohh and man you should read sega's tounge twisting answers to consumers asking if they should buy the sega cd, 32x, saturn or what...classic! fun, fun or at least good bathroom reading.
