GamePro Issue #23 - June 1991

Episode 56 - The cover story for this issue of GamePro is of course the outstanding Sonic The Hedgehog, although I'm not really sure that the cover art does it justice! There are lots of other great games covered in this issue as well, along with part 1 of their 16-bit buyers guide! At this time, not only was the 16-bit console war getting ready to heat up with the release of the Super Nintendo, but in general I think that we were standing at the forefront of what was, at least for me, the golden age of home video games!

I think I have said this before, but even still it bears repeating: I would’ve never imagined that watching a magazine “let’s read” would be so good, and in fact I still think it isn’t inherently a great concept... But YOU make it really fun. The presentation, the spirit of the video, everything is spot on. I love these videos. A+

I'm pretty sure I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it (if for no other reason than to give that extra bit of engagement!): I love these videos. Great way to unwind after a long day, and just as good a way to relive the eras in gaming history that I missed by a few years!

Hell of a Friday night; cinemassacre rental review and a CGQ Magazine read through!

[emowookie]

I dont get a chance to watch as i use to, but i really appreciate these uploads, CGQ.

An hours worth of content about a piece of gaming history just appears in my subs. You use to require an overpriced cable or satellite tv subscription to get such content (and it was still spare at that) and had to set time aside to watch it or find a vhs to record else youd miss it. What a time to be alive.


On more important note: "Asiaton Oleskelu Kielletty" roughly translates to "Absolutely no fat shaming of the neighbors cat"

There is something about the way Konami was making games in the NES era that they all had similar soundtracks. The midi instrumentation, specifically the drums, all haves signature “Konami” sound to them.

Listening to retro read-throughs while playing retro computer games (Icewind Dale). Life is good.

Nice! That issue is my birthday month and I was 16. :) Oh for it to be 1991 again!

Love this channel! For the younger generation, would love to see some 1994-95 issues :)

[DrewberTravels]

Oh wow! i just saw this in the recommended videos on the right side of my youtube and got super excited as soon as I saw it. I set the other video to the side in another tab until I finish your hour long video!!! I can't wait!

Base Wars was actually really fun. Loved upgrading my robot players for the 1-on-1 battles between bases. Cool twist on the sport.

Smart way to keep content going and bring nostalgia from the older years, love it.

[KewieCRC]

Really appreciate this upload. Going to relax on my day off with this on the background while playing switch/spiderman. Loved gamepro but I didn’t subscribe until about 93... So I never seen this issue. Miss those days so these videos definitely holds it down. Thanks.

Time to grab a six pack and snacks. Lets DO THIS!

I miss being a kid in the 90's...

[Marowanna]

Man I absolutely love this. When I was young I spent a lot of time in the hospital and I was luckily enough to be able to have the library order these in. I absolutely remember this one. The cover is iconic and it was a very popular issue.

[bradnimbus]

Watched last night but I figure it wouldn't hurt to watch again.

Thanks for uploading dood!

Outstanding work as usual! Still waiting on a let’s read episode of the Official Nintendo Player’s Guide. I haven’t given up on that yet🙏🏻

[jeremyjohnson]

Absolutely in love with these videos. Your format is amazing; I love looking forward to a CGQ RnR time.

[ayycaramba]

I know it's been said by many but I Iove these let's read videos so much. They are so relaxing and enjoyable, thank you so much.
