Final Fantasy to the second slot on the strength of the Pros’ Picks. Part of the reason for
this one-sided vote is that our professional Game Counselors get first crack at playing
new Nintendo games, usually a month or so before much of the rest of the country re¬
ceives them. That’s why some new games do so well out of the Top 30 starting gate.

Our goal is to try and preserve classic videogame magazines

from years gone by before they are lost forever.

Thanks goes out to all the people who make this possible.
From the original editors and writers,
to everyone involved in acquiring and digitizing these magazines.

People interested in helping us out, in whatever way possible.

Either by donating classic magazines, scanning, editing or distributing them,
visit us at http://www.retromags.com

We are only interested in preserving classic magazines

that are at least 5 years out of print.

We have no desire or intention to profit from these in any way.

So please, if you come across people trying to sell these releases, don't support them!

Thank You and ENJOY!
