I know that, but a 2.5D Megaman would be badass. (We actually have Strider 2 at work, that game is so awesome)

Well, yeah. But it is actually quite interesting, especially from a cultural perspective. For instance, the Feb 1967 issue defines rape, as "assault with a friendly weapon." :o And I glanced through some of the early issues and there really were very few nudes in some of them. It really was (is? I've never seen a modern Playboy, so I dunno) a "lifestyle" magazine. Or that's how it seems so far. I'll have to do more "studying" later.

And I was misinformed. It's not every issue. But there are a lot.

The final boss in Earthbound can only be defeated by using a special pray action. Normal damage won't do anything after a certain point, but in the GBA remake, you can bypass that by poisoning him, allowing you to best him like any other foe. Nothing groundbreaking, but kind of cool if your a fan of the series, especially seeing Ness family in the lair.

Drug that helps social drinkers quit smoking.  Who knew that there would finally be a cure for annoying people who claim that they only smoke when they drink.
