Finally got some time to fire up the scanner and re-release some more crusty old school reviews of mine! This time it's January 1994. Sonics still on the mage covers, Toe Jam and Earl gets a sequel and the most excellent Super Empire Strikes Back gets released. So what does the editor give poor old Brian to review? Bloody platformers! Oh well. They were not too bad though for the time.
Atari Jaguar was also making headlines, not sales. I never knew that the Jaguar had slightly more punch than the 3DO. Both were cool consoles. Just over zealous with their goals. Or no realistic path set to achieve them! "It doesn't matter how good a system looks on paper, without good quality games, it hasn't got a hope. Third party licensees are very important. 3DO have already lined up hundreds of the buggers; Atari have less than 20 and this will probably be Jaguar's biggest problem." Funny the word Sony isn't even uttered at this stage! Hindsight's a wonderful thing.
