The collectors among my friends will definitely know where I'm coming from here. In order to control my obsessive game collecting, I've started trying to find goals to focus on instead of just randomly buying whatever catches my eye.
The unfortunate demise of Electronic Gaming Monthly has given me an idea. I've started compiling a list (seen here) of all the Games of the Month in EGM's entire run. I have every issue from #158 forward. Everything before that seems to be my problem. Here's where you come in!
Anyone who has issues predating September 2002 (#157) and doesn't mind taking a look, please PM me the game of the month and platform* it was reviewed for (and the issue number and month, of course...;) ).
Any help anyone can give me would be awesome. The link to the list is right there, so anyone who wants to try to collect all the games can use it. Thanks to all in advance!
*This is kind of important. While many games were categorized under multiple platforms (for instance PS2/XB/GC), some were either deemed superior on one platform (Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 on PS2) or were named Game of the Month multiple times (Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas on the Xbox being named GotM eight months after the PS2 version won the award).
