Last month we traveled to Milwaukee for Midwest Gaming Classic, their big retro game expo. We took part in a couple of talks, but we're especially excited to share this reunion of early Electronic Gaming Monthly editors, moderated by our own Frank Cifaldi. There's some interesting stories in here, as well as a deep dive into Street Fighter mysteries, even beyond Sheng Long (although don't worry, they get into that, too!)

Enjoy!

Electronic Gaming Monthly Reunion - Stories from EGM Staff at Midwest Gaming Classic 2023

Electronic Gaming Monthly was one of the biggest and most influential magazines in video game history. How did they get so much information that the other magazines couldn't? What's the story behind Street Fighter's infamous Sheng Long? And who was Sushi-X really? Former EGM editors Ken Williams, Ray Price, "Trickman" Terry Minnich, and Mike Vallas share all of this and more in a talk moderated by Frank Cifaldi of The Video Game History Foundation. Special thank you to My Life in Gaming for filming this event!
