So, don't judge, I used to read a LOT of gaming magazines as a kid. Found a box full of em at my parent's house and was perusing some when I noticed this little quote from the EGM 1999 buyer's guide.

I don't think I would've ever noticed this at the time, but now knowing what we know about the gamefan article it seems too funny not to be intentional. I'm sure as industry contemporaries the story had gotten around to EGM staff by that point.
EDIT: FFS imgur turned both images sideways, uh. I'll try to fix.
