GamePro wasn't my personal favorite gaming magazine but there is no doubt it was one of the most popular. It seemed to be targeted towards a younger or at least less mature audience. Like most others, it didn't survive the transition into the new millenia very well. The April 1999 issue includes:
Features
- Soul Reaver: Kain's Legacy - A feature on Soul Reaver: Legacy of Kain, and adventure game for the PlayStation that became one of the most popular games on that platform.
- LamePro! - LamePro was a periodic parody that GamePro did of itself. This issue contains reviews of games like Rouge Squadron and Saddam's Command and Cower plus parody ads, news and more.
ProStrategy Section
- NetPro ProStrategy: The Beginner's Guide to EverQuest, Part III - For a long time Everquest was, by far, the most popular MMORPG.
- Role-Player's Realm ProStrategy: Brave Fencer Musashi, Part 3 - A strategy guide that takes you through the last half of Brave Fencer Musashi for the PlayStation.
- ProStrategy Guide: Drac's Back in Castlevania - A strategy guide for Castelvania on the Nintendo 64.
