VG&CE article on Nickelodeon VR games for Nick Arcade

[handygrafx]

This is about the stuff behind the "live"  "virtual reality" games used in Nick Arcade,
which was pioneered for the earlier and MUCH less-known show, Total Panic.

Video Games & Computer Entertainment - September 1992

Sweet, thank you!

Are there any ROMs/disk images floating around?

Awesome!

I've never actually watched any of these shows on Nickolodean. I didn't even know they existed until a few years ago.

Keep posting old cool articles like this.  I even made a thread somewhere on this site about old magazine articles (with scans), but the images are gone because I switched servers.

Sadly some of the best stuff that's in game magazine articles... I no longer have :/

A few examples of what I had, that I would've liked to be able to show you guys:

October 1992 Video Games & Computer Entertainment

A News Bits article on Hudson's 32-bit HuC62 System with descriptions of the functions of each processor/chip.
Although not mentioned by their official codenames, this was NEC & Hudson's IronMan / Project Tetsujin.

A 93 or 94 issue of GameFan on Project Tetsujin / IronMan. Because it was later than the 1992  EGM and VG&CE articles, but not quite at the time of PC-FX's release, they showed a polygon based, textured F-1 racing game. My memory of this now makes me think of a cross between Namco's Final Lap 1 / 2 and Sega's Virtua Racing. I never saw this anywhere else. It seems this game was described in the Facts & Rumors section as 'Racing'.

Next Generation issue 3, March 1995  on the PC-FX.    Showed Hi-Ten Bomberman on that HDTV and some actual PC-FX games.   At least the text of that one is here.

One of the last issues of the 1990s version of Electronic Games or maybe Intelligent Gamer / IG Fusion from 1997, on the SuperGrafx. They said 50,000 systems had been manufactured.


I'm kicking myself for getting rid of so many magazines.    

If anyone has these, I beg you, scan or take a pic of them for us.
