Up for grabs is the 41st issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly. First off, this issue is HUGE! We're talking over 290 pages! It's like a phone book or something. This gigantic issue was released in December of 1992. This is the Road Rash 2 issue. This issue includes an insert in the back of the magazine that a reader can send in to try to win a prize. Another insert in the middle of the magazine is a mini poster for the game Desert Strike: Return to the Gulf. Many of these old issues no longer have their included inserts. "EGM Express" lead article for the month was about Sony working with Nintendo to make a CD Rom for the Super Nintendo. This was a HUGE story at the time, but ultimately everything fell apart. This actually caused Sony to make their own system without Nintendo's help. EGM Express also had a story about a Sega CD press conference that was held in October 1992 leading up to the official launch of the Sega CD. "Leading Edge" again featured the latest in Arcade gaming. There was a report from the AMA about Goldex Axe 3: The Revenge of Death Adder. Street Fighter 2 Turbo Championship Edition and a shooter called Dogyuun were also covered in the Arcade breakdown. This issue also features a section from the "Game Doctor". He used to be a regular feature in another gaming magazine, Video Games & Computer Entertainment. Some of the more interesting reviews this month included Death Valley Rally, Desert Strike and Super Valis IV for the Super Nintendo. Mega Man 5 and Batman Returns for the Nintendo Entertainment System. For the Sega Genesis, John Madden Football '93, Crue Ball and Sonic the Hedgehog 2! They all got the review treatment this month. This is one of the first months to see Sega CD reviews. Sega CD game reviews included Black Hole Assault, Cobra Command, Sewer Shark and Night Trap! Dead Moon and Hit the Ice were both reviewed for the TurboGrafx-16. Loom was reviewed for TurboDuo. Alien 3 was reviewed for Game Gear. Ren & Stimpy and Bonk were both reviewed for GameBoy. Pit Fighter was reviewed for the Atari Lynx.
