Hyper had art design and editorial content that stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the best mags on any continent. But Ty and Aidan were, um, more than a little surprised with the treatment the Xbox port of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind got in their review section.Our opening discussion? Why, it’s about PC/console crossover and cross-pollination—and we genuinely had one of our best opening chats ever.———Sources include the Video Game History Foundation, the Internet Archive, Retromags.com, our original research, and our personal magazine collections.
