Web Updates for October '98 NEW!
Welcome to that season when the leaves start changing, pumpkins are carved, and all of a sudden the gaming market wakes up! From Metal Gear to Crash 3, a tsunami of titles is set to be released over the next three months. We'll keep a sharp watch on each and every one - Although for Nintendo, it appears their sights are set on one property apart from all others. It's Pocket Monsters, of course, that wildly popular series of Game Boy games (and a hit television show) in Japan. The Pokemon phenomenon has fueled a handheld comeback in the Japanese market, and now the portable RPG is here domestically with Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. Catch 'em if you can!
Web Updates for September '98
This month commemorates the sixth anniversary of PyroPlayers Magazine and second year of publication with Century Fantastics Ltd. Needless to say, we are overjoyed to have shared this journey with you over these volumes. We sure have come a long way since Issue #1 released with our coverage of the blazing hot Sonic 2 and the Street Fighter 2 phenomenon. One constant all these years later is the timelessness of sequels, and in no area is that more evident than Capcom's Mega Man series. The newest reinvention on the scene, Mega Man Legends, is explored in-depth over at the Review Station. Also be sure to check the Sidebar for monthly musical updates!
