@DarthAzrael 20 November 2021 more from that month

Electronic Gaming Monthly was one of the most successful gaming magazines and one of my favorites. I never subscribed but did buy issues frequently and bought pretty much every issue in a span between 1990 and 1993. By 1998 I was rarely buying an issue.

Pocket Cameron - This is an article about the Game Boy Camera and making your own 'blockbuster' (Pocket Cameron, James Cameron, get it? Hahaha...heh.) Though the article goes over how to use the camera it is a bit tongue-in-cheek. After all, it can't even really record video, just black and white images.
