Lots of good stuff in the latest GameFan. Chaotix really looks awesome,
and it's coming out in March! I didn't expect it to be out so soon. Brutal
32X looks great graphically and they say it has good sound, plus 4 new
characters so if you liked the other versions this looks like the best one.
Tempo, which should be out next week, looks like a weird title but the graphics
look great. They have pics of QB Club for the 32X, seems like they made some
decent improvements but I didn't really like they Genesis version. RBI 32X
does not look very 32 bit, but it's still early. Alone In the Dark is coming
to the 32X! They only had a couple pics but they were very close to the PC
version. They also had some pics of Blackthorne 32X, which doesn't look all
that good, I think they may have shown the 16 bit version. One last piece
of good news for 32X owners, the Chips N Bits ad in this issue has over 50
32X titles listed!
Not too much Saturn stuff; pics of Suikoden, Daytona, RayEarth, Deadlus
(looks very good),Darius, Parodius, Guardian Force and Panzer Dragoon. But,
although they didn't have alot of Saturn info, that issue has definately sold
me on a Saturn. In the mail section, they confirm that Phantasy Earth is
indeed the next game in the Phantasy Star series. YES!
They did have alot of PSX screenshots, indepth pics of Kileak, CyberSled,
Cosmic Race, Tekken, and Space Griffon. They also had a few pics of Kings
Field 2, Arc the Lad, StarBlade, Bounty Arms, and DarkStalkers which
looks exactly like the arcade.
They had some supposed U64 pics, but they were really SGI demos. When
are we gonna see some U64 screen shots from actual games? September is not
that far off.
They had some pics of SFL, not as many as EGM but they described it a hell
of alot better than EGM did.
And that's about it. Good issue, worth picking up just for the pics(the
writing is still as bad as ever).

This is Interplay, remember??? The same company that put pics of SNES
Clay Fighter on the Genesis game's box?

I thought PSIV was the last in the series. I guess not. Must be a totally
unrelated game or a prequel, a la the next Star Wars films.

E3. I hope. Nintendo sure had better have something up their sleeve.

Did you expect anything less than the worst editing in any game mag?? :)

Poom!

I remember mentioning this a while ago but nobody believed me. I believe
that it is a follow up to part 2 and 3 (the parts of the ending that had to
do with Earth). It seems to be a hole new beginning based on th PS series.
I guess with the name Phantasy Earth, Sega was telling the truth when they
said that PS4 was the last PS>
