Notebooks on the table, it’s time for a trip down memory lane again. Using historical magazine documents, Heinrich and Jörg go back 10, 20 and 30 years and supplement the then relevant game themes with their memories. In doing so, they came across the start of the console magazine GamePro in 2002: the editor-in-chief at the time Gunnar Lott leaf through the first monthly issue with us and report on how it came about. Patreon supporters are staying a little longer this year and checking out the GameStar in the bonus segment, which also had reason to celebrate. In 1992, all sorts of adventures and a golf simulation with a big hardware appetite await us. So that the veterans don’t get lost in time and space, they anchor themselves in the present at the beginning of the show with news, game reports and listener questions.

Episode 38-2022 (#286) of the game veteran podcast with Jörg Langer, Heinrich Lenhardt and guest veteran Gunnar Lott has a running time of 1:48:22 hours.
