No matter how good a videogame magazine may be, there are some things that you just can't get from print. We can show you the pictures of the games, and tell you about the games, but it's impossible for us to actually put the controller in your hands and let you play the game for yourself, or even see the game in motion. Enter the Ultra Game Players Disc.
On the disc, which works with both Apple Macintosh and PC compatibles, you'll find movies of all the newest, hottest console games, as well as playable demos of the biggest PC and Mac titles. We've also thrown in some on-line software to bring you up to speed. Read the print magazine, check the web site, and view the disc to get the full Ultra Game Players impact.
