Web Updates for October '97

Welcome to the Premier Issue for PPM Volume 5! Our autumnal transformation is complete, and we have plenty of goodies to share with you patient readers.

Over at our Spotlight page, check out our analysis of the heavy hitters - Nintendo, Sega, and Sony - with an update on the state of the industry. That aside, it is no secret which game is on the forefront of our minds. No, it's not Plok (Sadly!). It's Final Fantasy VII, of course! See our full review posted for this incredible, game-changing RPG below.

Web Updates for Autumn '96

is now upon us, which means we have entered the foretold season of change. And speaking of transformative periods, an evolutionary phase on the horizon for PyroPlayers Magazine. We will be transitioning to a new publisher starting next year following an end to our arrangement with P.S.I. Inc. and its cost-conscious host Jim Flynt. To our team's dismay, this amounts to a temporary halt of new PPM issues for the time being. Fear not, my fine readers, as we plan to continue posting a smattering of web updates in the meantime. Look forward to our new publisher announcement and the new PPM format soon!

A Monster In Your Pocket

A Japan-only Game Boy title is utterly dominating the sales charts overseas, overtaking even the FF7 juggernaut. Pocket Monsters, a lesser-known RPG about collecting and raising virtual monsters, is generating a nationwide phenomenon approaching Tamagotchi status. It has already passed the three-million sales figure and is expected to storm onward from there. An N64 iteration is expected soon.


Out With The Old

The executive shake-up continues. Nearly one year since the departure of Sega of America CEO Tom Kalinske, Nintendo will likewise undergo a change in leadership.
