ng hardware

Ultra 64: the story so far...
While the gaming world looks at Saturn and PlayStation, Nintendo's collaboration with Silicon Graphics is quietly evolving from "Project Reality" (a mere code name) into the real deal. NEXT Generation separates the facts from the fiction for the story so far. (twelve pages)

ng special

Apple: the ripe stuff
The Apple story is a real-life slice of the American dream; an inspirational start-up that took on the corporate big boys and won (well, some of the time). But now the company is growing up, and its new game/multimedia station could mean crunch time for Apple. (eight pages)

ng software

Alphas (game previews; two pages each unless noted:)

(Next Generation's game previews often varied in scope and size. Smaller previews were usually traditional in presentation, while larger previews often incorporated developer commentary. The largest previews were typically presented as a themed article (focusing on a development studio, accessory, etc) previewing one or more titles and were often accompanied by an interview (noted).)
