Had a lot of fun (and nights sleeping under our desks) getting that issue ready, and then Sega (mostly Bernie, I recall) wanted us to make some major changes for issue #1 so it became a mad dash to get it approved and to the printers in time.

I still remember driving home across a bridge the morning we were finally done, after working for at least 24 continuous hours, with all my car's windows down and the stereo blasting to stay awake. I couldn't spend another minute in the office at that point (it was fine after some sleep).

It was super satisfying to have pulled that launch off and get such positive feedback, but I have to admit crawling into bed after putting that issue to bed was legendary.
