GamePro (May 1993)
Source: http://megalextoria.blogspot.com/2015/02/gamepro-may-1993.html
GamePro was never my favorite video game magazine but there is no doubt it was one of the most popular and longest lasting. GamePro covered all video game systems from whatever era it was published in. In May 1993 that included a number of systems.
While the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo had both been out for a time that could be measured in years at this point, the NES was still hanging on. The Turbo Duo never really did that well and while it would hang around for another couple of years, games would only be released at a trickle. Then there was the Cadillac of game systems, the Neo Geo. Games were only released at a trickle for that system too but they were so expensive not many people could afford them anyway. It would remain the technically superior system until the 32-bit era. The first color and by far technically superior Game Gear and Atari Lynx were competing with the Game Boy but 'compete' might be too strong of a word. Even to this day only Nintendo displaces Nintendo's portable systems. All of these were covered in the May 1993 issue of GamePro.

I played Battletoads once.
I don't think I ever played that one but it was supposed to be hard from what I remember.
I played co-op with a friend. It was hard. NINTENDO HARD!
