EGM Issue 3
Publish Date - August 1989?
I'm guessing on the date. Magazine does not show exact month. But does say to remove from shelf by Sept. 31st 1989.

Special Notes:
This is the only cover to feature an actual person as the center point. The shot is the cover of Wizards & Warriors 2: Ironsword. And no your eyes do not decieve you...that is Fabio. Another special note for my particular issue is that I managed to get it hand-signed by Fabio. Last year he did a tour of some of the Sam's Club stores promoting his new clothing line. So I took it up there and he was nice enough to sign it. Not the most valuable piece in my collection but definitely one of the more unique pieces.
Pages 30-31 reference the Konix MultiSystem console. The console consisted of a configurable steering wheel, one joystick, a disk drive, and two games. The steering wheel could be transformed into a motorcycle handlebar configuration. There was also a simulation chair that could be connected to the system. The rumored sell price was $350.00 but the system never had a commercial release. This would not be the last we see of the Konix system. It would reapper in a future issue of EGM.
Page 72 deals with the "new" Atari Lynx and mentions several games. One of those games is called Time Quests & Treasures Chests which would later be renamed to Gauntlet: The Third Encounter.
