Abstract

This super-sized special E3 1999 edition of Video Game Buyers Guide was distributed inside some copies of E3 Show Daily 1999. In addition to being over twice as long as other issues of Video Game Buyers Guide, this issue comes with a special cover wrapper with sales pitch for retailers at E3 1999.
