Gamefan quotes!

K thank you dolemite, it was Wild Arms.

You gotta get some more quotes from that bastard, he was so funny.

I also remember the Ultra 64 Robotech annoucement complete with screenshot in the non-gossip, gossip section.

Takuhi: As you may already know, some other magazine reviewed Yoshi's Island, and gave it a 76%. A 76%...I'd like to go into an extensive rant about what exactly our nation is coming to when the youth of today trash brilliant games like this, but...I won't. Instead, I'll just say this: "Fellow reviewer! Congratulations on getting to World 1-4 of an unfinished EP-ROM that you evidently played for no more than 15 minutes! Clearly you've carefully considered the fine details of the game, and I have nothing but respect for your learned opinion."


This was so funny and true!

I remember the review he was talking about, and it was obvious that the reviewer in in question did not play YI at all.

This is why I have kept every single back issue of Gamefan.

Nick Rox a few issues earlier:

"3D0 Super Turbo is 100% perfect!"

Quite possibly the best magazine on anything ever. I just wish they'd used a spellchecker.

ECM (on Metal Slug 3): "It's not very often anymore that I get truly lathered up over a game. Oh sure, I can get into a frothing, saliva-spewing, hyperbolic rant when the need arises: the much-maligned (outside of GameFan) Strider 2, for example, benefited from such a spastic state."

Takuhi was the man at GameFan. I will never forget his review of Pulstar. It single handedly sent me on a quest to acquire the game.

Anyone has a copy/scan of this article? I would love to read all the Gamefan's reviews on neo geo games!

the best review ever was done by Eggo and it was his FFIX review and it was the best all because of that intro he wrote

i still break it out from time to time to read and it always makes me laugh


i read game fan from almost the very beggining

and while i loved what it was when it started i have to say i feel it was better towards the end

You're probably right.

It's like PV says, 'speling is overated'.

Actually, I think they claimed that it was "better" than penecillin!

Yeah, I think it was a Game Informer review, if I remember correctly.
