Coffeehound RetroSharka 🏳️⚧️I do love seeing early chitchat and design concepts for the PlayStation 2 in 1998 and 9 issues of game mags. PSM's August 1999 issue has some neat artists impressions (and lovely design sketches!) of not only what the console might look like but also its peripherals and media.
The PS2 would be unveiled at the Tokyo Game Show in September of that year.

The Elder Scrolls franchise starts here: Arena!
Released in Feb 1994, The Elder Scrolls: Arena was a sandbox CRPG unlike any other. It offered up the whole of Tamriel with hundreds of towns and dungeons to explore, crafting and spell creation systems - and laid the foundation for the franchise's lore.
Trivia: While the manual claims you can walk from one settlement to another, you actually can't; the area between them is infinite if you try. You need to use the fast travel system.
Beginning life as a gladiatorial combat game, the name Arena was later retconned into a nickname used by Tamriel's denizens for their world to reflect its harsh nature.
📖: Computer Gaming World, Aug 1994.

SCANLINESJanuary 2000 - PLAY Magazine.
A time when Halo hadn't yet been confirmed for Xbox exclusivity and was still potentially a third-person shooter.
Halo on PS2, too? Could have come to pass.

On the 25th anniversary of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time's release... if you snoozed a month earlier, you'd have lost out on one of the Gold Cart releases!
Happy birthday, Ocarina of Time!

The Shape of Things to Come. EDGE issue one. I'm fortunate to have a copy of this seminal first issue in our mag library - a wonderful timepiece from the one of the most exciting times in tech and VG history.
As it's recently been the 30th anniversary, I'll share a few pages, with EDGE laying out its mission statement and striking a vibe unlike any other mag at the time as it gives us its visions of the future and a 90s that mostly never was.
