_{Cover of the November 1997 issue of GamePro}

GamePro and Electronic Gaming Monthly were really the two biggest video game magazines throughout the 1990s and into the early 2000s. I preferred EGM myself but picked up an occasional issue of GamePro. The November 1997 issue of GamePro includes:

Features

Tomb Raider II - A preview of this 3D adventure game sequel for the PlayStation that, at the time, was one of the most eagerly anticipated sequels.

Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi - This Star Wars fighting game wasn't really one of the best in the Star Wars franchise.

SwatPro Strategy Section

Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee PlayStation ProStrategy Guide - A stragegy guide for this PlayStation classic strategy/platform game. This was an awesome atmospheric game but it got pretty hard as you progressed.

Vampire Savior Arcade ProStrategy Guide - A strategy guide for this arcade horror based fighting game.

The Fighter's Edge Street Fighter EX Plus (PlayStation) - Part 1 of a two-part strategy guide for the latest Street Fighter game on the PlayStation. There were many.

Final Fantasy VII PlayStation ProStrategy Guide, Part II - The second in a three part series for one of the most iconic Final Fantasy games.
