Every answer above is false, and there aren't any trick questions up there. Do
you think you've actually seen pictures of 32X software (except some demo video
from Ecco the Dolphin)? Here's a hint -- not yet (as of EGM 60, EGM2 #1, July 94
DieHard or the August issue of GamePro). We have the genuine pictures
exclusively in TNT. How would you like to read all about our hands-on test
(four-pages) of Nintendo's Ultra-64 system? We have it all, ready for delivery
to your house immediately. Every question above is answered in TNT Magazine, the
work of some of the Internet's best writers and reviewers.
TNT covered every system listed above when they appeared at the Summer
CES. The result: 82 pages of incredible information and nearly 12 megabytes of
color photography on floppy disks. We've been advance-selling TNT for months now
and our orders were all shipped exactly as promised -- now we have a special
deal for you.
