Well, there goes a good part of my Sunday I guess. π
I was working on levelling and cropping the pages from Sega Pro 34 - July 1994 (UK), when I noticed the cover has a part of it torn off due to some cover gift which must have been taped on it 3 decades ago, and ripped off carelessly.
So, me being me, I got a bit obsessed with it and with the help of the PAL SNES manual as a reference, I went to work reconstructing the artwork as well as the letters that got damaged.
Pretty sure if I didn't tell anyone, no one would be the wiser, and in that case, I'm writing this one up as a success. π

I 100% agree with the score on this one.
For some reason this entry in the series seems to get a lot of hate and honestly, I don't know why as I adore how it goes back to the SNES way of doing things.
Perhaps that was what people didn't like about it...
Played this one so, so much and I was floored to see all the SNES tracks being unlocked after you complete the regular cups.
Definitely one of my favourites.

And the contents pages for GamesMaster 112 - October 2001 (UK)
I had the SNES version and yeah, this was so damn hard.
Reminds me of Ghostbusters 2 on NES.
I was a massive Ghostbusters fan (still am) and thus I just had to get the game, but it kicked my butt so bad.
Still played it a ton. π

Follow up on this strange sentence on top of the cover of Total 64 No.27 Volume 3 Issue 3 - April 1999 (UK).
It refers to the following article, where they talk about how the website www.zelda.com was actually an adult site and not a Nintendo one. π

That's what I thought.
It feels like that perfect 7/10 game.
Nothing that really jumps out to make it an all-time classic, but still a ton of fun.
EDGE gave it a 2/10 it seems. π
Looked up the developer and there's quite a few games that jumped out at me.
The Battle of Olympus
The Simpsons: Road Rage
The Simpsons: Hit & Run
The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction
Crash Tag Team Racing
Scarface: The World Is Yours
Prototype 1 and 2
Some really good games.

That's one of the five issues of NOM that I have that is missing pages, so I'll have to find new copies for those I'm afraid.
I still have over 300 magazine to work through, and lots of bills to pay, so I won't be buying new magazines for a while though. π

Sadly, we have all witnessed by now that reality most of the time is a lot more cruel than fiction.
Not to mention dumber, a lot dumber...

It wasn't actually a launch title, but it was pretty close.
I got my GBA on Saturday June 23 , 2001, one day after release as I used to go to visit my local import shop by train once a month, or sometimes sooner if something like this released.
They also still sold EU releases back then, so that's where I picked everything up.
Got Kuru Kuru Kururin, Super Mario Advance and F-Zero Maximum Velocity alongside it and remember playing them on the train ride back.
Castlevania released the same day, but somehow I got it 2 weeks later.
Probably spent too much at launch already. π
Surprisingly Krazy Racers by Konami was a launch game but Mario Kart came out in the middle of September.
I think Mario Kart DS might as well be my favourite in the series.
It's definitely my most played entry hands down as I played several thousands of rounds of battle mode on Block Fort alone in multiplayer.
Just the best.
