I'll say this for the Dreamcast, it was the last console that made me go "whoah" when I looked at its graphics. First time saw Sonic Adventure at a kiosk I was shocked at how good it looked.

Saturn > Dreamcast. Search your feeling, you know it to be true.
Nope, had both. Dreamcast was clearly superior.

That part is true, though. Loved the Saturn. I even had over 50 games for it at one point.
If any of you have a specific time you'd like me to take the Hot Tub Time Machine to I'm more than happy to pull out that month's EGM and tell you what was going on back then.
My favourite DC memories are Headhunter, it's better than MGS 1 if you ask me. And of course, the two shenmue games, the sequel especially was incredible.

Oh come on. Yes Headhunter was a great game but its no MGS1.

"GameCube's future in terms of online is completely undefined as is the PS2's. It's right on the edge now, and if Sony doesn't do something quick, I think online will fall off completely. The only platform really for online right now is Xbox" - Julian Eggebrecht, president of Factor 5.
An ... interview... with the lizard from Brute Force. Yes. A whole page.
Speculation: 100: The number of Pentium 4 chips it would take to equal the reported processing power of [the] Playstation 3.
Inteview with Aonuma about Wind Waker. Will the next Zelda use the same cartoon art style? Well, WW only features Link as a child. If we were to make a Zelda game where Link appears as an adult again, we'd probably have to rethink the graphical style.
Fuuu. How far back can you go?
November 1991. There are some holes though, so I can't vouch the Hot Tub Time Machine works for every month.

An ad for the Atari Lynx ($99).
This is before computer layouts and art, so there are many ads that look like this:
Picture of Thor Aackerlund the Nintendo World Champion.
Game Genie ads.
The magazine is a pile of shit. It's unreadable. But it is very colorful.
This is another ad (one of the better ones)
Combat Basketball? 
Never heard of that game before.
That basketball game sucked. I know a few people who owned it because the SNES library was so small at the time.
lol ar RS3 being the best Star Wars game yet.

Amazing stuff, Toe Jam got such a crazy range of scores. I have a huge collection of old magazines too, lots of gamefans. I will check a few out for you guys.
Did Aspro "revision" my post? 
EDIT:
No, it's in the wrong thread. That's even better.
As much as I like the Saturn the libraries just don't compare.
