"Anyone who reads DieHard GameFan is already aware of David Perry and our admiration for him. It's not that he's the only brilliant programmer out there — with your best interest in mind, there are few... How he has managed to surround himself with people that are all equally suited is a mystery, but he has. Shiny Entertainment is about to blow the roof off of the Action / Platform category. We are proud to be one of the first to show you Shiny's new character, Earth Worm Jim. You're about to get a taste of what Dave can do when Dave is in charge. During a recent visit to Shiny, I was in complete awe of what he has accomplished. I have never seen a team of guys so dedicated to a project, while having so much fun doing it. This is what our industry needs more of. This is how legendary characters are made."

"Robotron... is the closest classic arcade game to the first-person action game genre. That embodies the spirit of the shooter cos it's all constant action, non-stop action, and it's just damn fun. It's amazing that I remember playing that back when I was a kid and thinking how hard it was, as far as eye-to-hand co-ordination. And nowadays, it's funny, I guess because of the mouse-playing in Quake and Doom and stuff, that kind of configuration just seems totally natural."

"From humble beginnings in Silicon Valley, California, Apple Computer has grown from a two-man, sister's bedroom operation to a major force in the world of home and business computers, with $8 billion in sales and an installed userbase of nearly 17 million. Its user-friendly machines have cornered the desktop publishing and graphic design markets. Its RISC-based PowerMac is one of the most powerful home computers ever made. And now, with a little help from Japanese manufacturer Bandai, it has its sights set on the home multimedia and games market. Edge magazine chronicles the Apple phenomenon and looks at the company's plans for the future."
