2025-09-17 17:39:09 +0000 UTCWhat stands out to me was the British 'N64 Magazine' which was also a common import at Australian newsagencies (ask your Windbreaker colleagues, Marty). What I find remarkable is that it seemingly *invented* achievements. On the N64. In the medium of glossy paper. It was done by sending in photos of yourself with a specific screen from the game. Many were completionist challenges. Others were more akin to a score challenge instead. Reader rankings were also published in each issue.

2025-09-06 19:43:31 +0000 UTCIt's funny how different that description of Metroid Fusion is from the finished product. Though they were probably just guessing at that point anyway.

2025-08-02 13:28:34 +0000 UTCSo many key games from my youth in this mag! I'd also totally forgotten about Legends of Wrestling. That was so disappointing, but younger me tried to force myself to like it because some random wrestling internet forum convinced me that REAL wrestling fans would appreciate its 'unique grappling system' over any trash from the WWF stable. No true Scotsman... Kudos on the background music choices and all the most unnecessary editing flourishes. Really enjoyed!
