Xevious resurrection title screen3/12/2023 If that name isn’t familiar, that’s because the comic was done for Image by Rob Leifeld (ugh) as part of his Awesome Universe. There’s also a game based on the comic book Youngblood. We’re also getting a video game based on Dragonball GT, which considering GT’s reputation, I will not only pass this game by, but I’ll give it a wide berth so it doesn’t contaminate me. We also get some screen shots of the Saturn version of Resident Evil. Of note in the previews this issue is the first Mortal Kombat Mythologies game, featuring Sub-Zero. Also, Tommy Tallerico is working on a game. They’ve got two major candidates for this, and they can’t make up their mind. Anyway, they have everything lined up for it except for the graphics processor. It’s big, it’s bad, it’s code named Dural, and I’m pretty sure that it becomes the Dreamcast. Rumors are beginning to spread about Sega’s next console. Japan is getting the sequel, with all 200 characters. 1 isn’t getting one, at least not in the US anyway. Shiny Entertainment is working on a 3D take on Earthworm Jim for the series 3rd installment. Additionally, the DVD format is building up some steam, with the impending release of Ghost in the Shell from Manga Video in the US. Square Enix has also announced their survival horror game Parasite Eve. ![]() Sega’s also announced a price-cut for the Sega Saturn to bring it down to $149 in 1997 dollars. According to the article, murmurs of discontent among the rank and file scuttled the merger. I’m not sure that it would – keep in mind that at this time Namco and Bandai hadn’t merged yet. I kind of wonder whether the Dreamcast would have survived with Bandai’s support. Some bad news for Sega: the planned merger between Sega and Bandai has fallen through. Thought it would be absolutely awesome if Ziff Davis had still had ZDTV around the time they launched the 1up Brand, and the 1up Show could have been an actual TV program. That has to account for something right? No, it doesn’t. ![]() That said, Ziff Davis still has ZDTV at this time. Anyway, the magazine is evolving, and while Steve Harris is no longer with it, and Ed Semrad is only on board as their Chief Correspondent, and there’s still the matter of being hitched to the potentially debt-ridden mess that is Ziff Davis (I don’t know if it was as debt ridden then as it was at the end of the first generation of EGM). Yeah, I feel bad about it to, and trust me, as gaps are filled, I will go back and do write-ups to address the missing issues of the magazine. No, I don’t have their 100th issue right now, so I’m going to have to skip it. For the editorial column of this issue, we get an piece from Ed Semrad looking back at the history of EGM as the magazine approaches it’s 100th issue. This week’s issue of EGM skips several more issues ahead due to another gap to issue #97 for August of 1997, and takes us to another Star Wars cover, for Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi, the first Star Wars fighting game and the last Star Wars fighting game until the Clone Wars fighting game for the Wii.
