And not a single fark was given. Farking Internet, how does it work?!

Sliceablekitty: That makes me sad. I had that issue in the link. I was all over anything Mortal Kombat 2 during that era.

Are you as hyped for the 32x as I am? It's going to be huge!

What is a GamePro?

GamePro TV was so bad that it was good.

My dad would never buy me gamecheat mags when I was younger so I had to go to the store with a pen and paper and copy the cheats.

This one's not real, is it?

I had to do the same thing.

Its sad that GamePro is no longer. But at the same time it did survive 20 years and through the Internet boom. Hats off to those guys for what used to be a great magazine!

RIP GamePro. Thanks for keeping me company through all those study-halls in high school.

Would it bother you to toss out a spoiler alert, at least?!

/I've been meaning to finish that game.

Meh, Next Generation was better.

No, you can't have my Volume 1, Issue 1.

Been a subscriber since the NES.

Last issue I got said they were discontinuing the magazine sent in the mail for a thick newsstand only magazine. I guess that went down the drain as well.

RIP GamePro. I had the magazine for a few years back in middle school. Their twitter feed was actually pretty useful. Hopefully their writers can make their own start up and deliver the same kind of news.

Spoiler alert:

Don't worry, that image isn't accurate. You lose her armor and weapons when she dies, not the materia.

I miss Play Magazine. Great writing, great pictures, and minimal ads. Also pissed because I renewed my subscription for a year, saw one issue and then they disappeared form the globe without a fart or whisper.

There was another truly great one about 15 years ago where every issue was like Lowrider for video games. I miss that one, too.

I'm surprised they trudged along for the last ten years.

Slaves2Darkness: What is a GamePro?

A Korean guy who plays Starcraft obsessively.

Nexzus: Meh, Next Generation was better.

So much more elegant than magazine covers now.

I was more of an EGM guy.

Man, with this and the closing of Wizard Magazine, my teenage years just took a big hit.

GamePro
GamePlayers
NextGeneration
Electronic Gaming Monthly
EGM2
GameFan

Wow man, so many memories. I feel giddy thinking about it :3

Thank you guys for all the fun you provided.


(I know they're not reading this, so save the snark)

Same here, recently ran into my collection at my parent's house. I can't believe I read through some of those old 200+ page monster issues as a pre-teen.

I miss Bill

How about I trade you for issue 1 of Gamepro?

/It came free with my copy of 1943 for the NES.
//I have no idea why I held onto it for so long...

I have every GamePro from about 1992 to about 1998 in a drawer at my parents' house, most of them in mint condition. Any chance it will be worth anything?

Hey guys, let's try to name all of their editors. I can think of a few: Scary Larry, Slasher Quan, and Lawrence of Arcadia.

Can one really put a price on your still in-tact virginity?

GameFan was definitely my favorite magazine of all time, I actually came in 2nd of the Donkey Kong Country contest and won a years subscription.
GamePro was good, EGM was good. Next-gen was amazing, but nothing ever came close to GameFan.

Nothing will ever come close to the Jap-pseudo racism comment from September 95, look up gamefan on wikipedia and scroll down to controversy.

PROTIP: When markets change over time, holding onto an old business model may not be profitable.

/Had no idea they were still around.

I Like Bread: I was more of an EGM guy.

EGM had better reviews and an infinitely better April Fool's joke every year. Plus Seanbaby, Hsu and Chan, and their writing wasn't directed at people under the age of 10. I don't care if print is dead, I still loved that magazine.

Totally. And their upcoming release news was way better. I had the scoop on all of my friends.

Are you sure those aren't Garbage Pail Kids?

I had my hopes up there for a second.

/shorting GameStop (GME)

First NextGen then GamePro?!?!?!

fark, I better sign into my Prodigy accounts and chat my buddies about this!

When I think Gamepro, I think of the 16 bit war. It was awesome, Snes vs Genesis. E/A sports on Genesis or Square games on Snes? Street Fighter 2 on Snes or Mortal Kombat with fatalities on Genesis?

I had both and loved them equally, games now are wonderfully complex but lacking the sheer joy and fun factor of the 8/16 bit days.

Ah yes, GamePro... The magazine that, while I was a kid, had "breaking news" on things 3 months after other magazines had it...

Honestly can't say I'll be missing this one.

It had gotten pretty good in the last couple of years. That said, I was still more upset at the whole death of EGM thing.

pute kisses like a man: was gamepro the inventor of protips?

I just used protip in an email I sent out to everyone at my company.

/It's gone mainstream
//or at least I'm trying
