My cousin used to always bring over his GamePros. Then I decided to subscribe my damn self.

Then I started to get GameInformer because of FuncoLand.

Then I was in a grocery store and I saw an EGM; and they had a review for Toukon Retsuden (Japanese Pro Wrestling Game for PS1); and then I got hooked on import wrestling games. That was around 96 or so.

Yeh i was a Zzap! 64 reader too, and I'd occasionally get C+VG, if I could calm my C64 fanboy blood :p

PC wise Id get PC Gamer

I have the starfox, donkey kong and banjo kazooie videos sitting somewhere in storage. I still have a nintendo power subscription today. :P
