Episode 57 - This time on the show, let's flick through the first issue of Official Dreamcast magazine, from September of 1999. Actually, this isn't the first issue because there was an issue #0. Not really sure how that works. This issue covers most, but not all of the launch games, including Sonic Adventure, SoulCalibur, Power Stone, NFL 2K, and more. Only a couple of games actually got reviewed though, and most game coverage comes in the form of previews. Issue #2 has many more of the launch games reviewed in it.

Show notes:
- Big thanks to Atari Age forum member "Vector" for basically donating the entire run of Official Sega Dreamcast Magazine to the show for the price of shipping.
- When possible, game play footage was recorded using a Dreamcast VGA cable passed through a Behar Bros. sync combiner and upscaled with a Framemeister. For games that are not VGA compatible, I literally pointed a camera at the TV screen.
- The "face cam" footage is grainy because I used the wrong ISO setting. It should be better next time.
- This is the fourth CGQ video to be sponsored by Dollar Shave Club. Thanks, DSC! You guys are helping keep these "Let's Read" shows on the air!
