_{Cover of the April 1998 issue of GamePro}

Next to Electronic Gaming Monthly, GamePro was perhaps the most popular video game magazine for many years, at least in North America. I always preferred EGM but GamePro had some great content to. The April 1998 issue includes:

Cover Feature

Tekken 3 Is Comin' To Get You! - A preview of Tekken 3 for the PlayStation. Mostly this covers the arcade version along with some of the new modes that will be included in the PlayStation version.

Special Features

Vigilante 8: Total Carnage! - Vehicular combat games seemed to be all the rage at this time. Twisted Metal seemed to be the most popular but this was a pretty good alternative on the PlayStation and had a unique retro-futuristic 1970s theme.

Baseball's Starting Lineup - An overview of recent and upcoming baseball games including Triple Play '99 (PlayStation), All-Star Baseball '99 (Nintendo 64), MLB '99 (PlayStation), Hardball 6 (PlayStation), VR Baseball '99 (PlayStation), High Heat Baseball (PlayStation), Mike Piazza's StrikeZone (Nintendo 64), and more.

SWATPro Strategy Section

Resident Evil 2 PlayStation ProStrategy Guide - Detailed strategy guide for this survival horror classic. These guides are not something you wanted to use unless you were really stuck...kind of ruins the game.

Fighter's Edge: Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix (Arcade) - Combos and strategies for the Super Gem Fighter Mini Mix arcade game.
