I was 23 at the time and it was pretty awesome (and I'm pretty sure I subbed to that magazine). I was probably playing Burn:Cycle, which was one of the numerous high-concept cyberpunk-y CD-ROM games that came out around then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_Cycle (CD-ROM games, and their massive storage and video capabilities, were still new at that time)... You'll see how wild it was if you read the story summary lol, you can probably find playthroughs of it on YouTube, I'm sure the graphics haven't aged well but I remember "Sol Cutter" vividly... aaand yep, you can LOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMRggmXbJF4 Had a great techno soundtrack as well. There was generally a ton of tech promise and a vibe of excitement, libertarian nonjudgmental sexuality that didn't demand both labeling AND acceptance as it seems to now (as can be seen throughout that magazine)... all of this at the cusp of the explosion of the Internet... |
