Yesterzine is the (literal) magazine show where we play old games to see if they're as good (or as bad) as they appeared to be at the time, all set around a specific issue of a magazine from back in the day.

This week : CVG 178 September 1996

Were Quake, Mario 64 and Nights the 3 greatest games of all time? Is one of them still?
Why is a generic cartoony Mario Kart clone one of the most influential video games ever?
And is Sonic Wings Special really the worst game in the issue?

Bonus fact for scrolling :
While these games were reviewed together, Mario 64 didn't get a UK release until March 1997, 7 months after we all read about it in this issue.

Polyphony only ever wrote 1 non-racing game, 1999's PS1 shooter Omega Boost.
