In the days before websites, social media, and the hellish world of click-bait, we had videogame magazines. They weren't just an information source. They were a window into another world. When you have the funds for give games a year, videogame magazines allowed us to play the titles without owning them. There are few things more nostalgic than flicking through an old Nintendo Power or GamePro.
And of all the magazines available on convenience store shelves, one reigned supreme: Electronic Gaming Monthly. This week, I chat with three former editors of EGM about life at the magazine, tight deadlines, amazing moments and April Fools jokes.
