The mid to late 1990s was one of the most prolific times in video game history. 16-bit systems were still going strong, as well as 32-bit systems from the established Nintendo and Sega. In addition, there was the new kid on the block, Sony, with their PlayStation. This issue of GamePro from August 1997 is a good representation of the chaos that was gaming in the late 1990s.

I had this issue! I subscribed to GamePro and PSM. A real shame we don't have print mags in the states anymore (Game Informer doesn't count).
Yeah, EGM made a short-lived comeback several years ago but I don't think it lasted long. The video game magazine I still see on the shelves at my local Barnes & Noble is Retro Gamer but that's an import (and expensive).
I was addicted in mortal combat, tekken and mario when I was a kid! Haha
