TODAY'S ISSUE: Game Players No. 75, September 1995 (Internet Archive)
Ty and Aidan basically became friends over their shared love of Chrono Trigger, and everything it stood for as an artistic achievement in video games. Game Players was also their mutual favorite magazine--so Game Players No. 75, and its dual-writer review of Chrono Trigger, naturally looms large in the canon.
Ty and Aidan flip through the rest of issue, freak out about the pen-pal section, and talk about the console-launch dynamics of the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Then they go long on Chrono Trigger, the review, and what it means to watch a game you thought you were weird for loving become remembered by history as one of the universally agreed-upon classics.
