EGM Covers #1-238
May 4th, 2010
During our most recent episode (#184), we discussed some of the best and worst EGM covers. This was the image that a couple of us were using for reference during that talk.
Well, it’s not the exact image. Some time ago, someone compiled the original image and posted it online, but it only contained covers for the issues up to #232 (the Soulcalibur IV issue). I took it upon myself to edit the image to include the remainder of EGM’s original run as well as the “lost” issue and the two different covers for the reborn EGM.
The gimpy Street Fighter III cover that I mentioned can be seen on the fourth row down, eight over from the right. Just to the right of the Twisted Metal cover (click on the image for a proper view).
OHHHH man the memories. I actually had issue number 2 and goaded over MM2 for months before I got to play it.
For somereason issues 51-57 seem to be my most memorable issues, not to mention there near phonebook size.
I remember reading in EGM 51 that issues, 8 and 11 where really rare. Rare to the point that a few editors didn’t have copies.
Also I guess that was the first issue with ‘What If…’? It seems like it. Or really it appears it was written by the staff at the time.
