So
it all started back in late 1999. One of us Monkeys- no one can quite be sure
who it was, was reading some typical video game magazine while on the porcelain
throne. They were idly flipping through pages when they came across a video
game review that was sheer and utter crap. It hymned, it hawed, it danced
around the game's many glaring issues, and finally- inevitably, gave a very
poopy game a very good review.
"How can this
be?!?" The Monkey exclaimed, scaring people in stalls on either side. "There
is no way anyone in their right mind could actually write this!" And then,
as if in answer to the not so silent question, the Monkey turned the page
and saw an ad. But not just any ad, it was an ad for the company whose game-
not 2 pages before, got a completely dishonest and sugar coated review.
So a meeting was
called, pizza was ordered, and a decision was made. That there needed to be
some publication out there, somewhere, that would not cave to industry pressure
or advertising dollars. That an island needed to be built, a last vestige
of honesty, a refuge for the gamer, on which Monkeys could gather and find
out the truth about the things they covet. So the good, benevolent folk at
Game Monkey Press put their heads together and made a loud, empty bonking
sound. But from that head bashing the island was created…none of them knowing
at the time that the island would some day become a nation.
Thus was born
Game Monkeys Magazine. A purely philanthropic effort designed 100% with the
gaming Monkey in mind. It has refused advertising dollars, shrugged off industry
pressure, and remained committed to giving you honest, damned funny, and hard
hitting reviews. Staffed by dedicated writers motivated by little more than
a cattle prod and a love for the industries which they review and run by Game
Monkey Press volunteers, Game Monkeys Magazine has since risen through the
ranks of gaming sites to become one of the most read 'zines on the net.
