Edge celebrates 200th issue with 200 covers
Pictures of all 200 covers for legendary mag's second century released
Edge celebrates its 200th issue this month with the world's first split run of 200 different magazine covers. Collect 'em all, indeed.
Celebrating videogame culture through the ages, Edge 200's covers feature all-time icons like Zelda's Link, Halo's Master Chief, Mario and Sonic rubbing shoulders with legends of yesteryear such as Dizzy, Q-Bert and Dirk the Daring.
Only 200 editions of each of the 199 different designs will be printed, with the 200th design, custom-produced for Edge by LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule, delivered exclusively to subscribers.
Inside issue 200, Edge identifies the 100 best games to play today, takes an in-depth look at the making of Sony's industry-changing PlayStation console, and talks exclusively to Ted Dabney, the forgotten co-founder of Atari who, after 35 years, finally tells his story.
Further interviewees in issue 200 include Trip Hawkins, who gives an insider's account of the 3DO console, and Sonic The Hedgehog man Yuji Naka, who offers his own perspective on Sega's colourful history.
Rounding out issue 200's features, four of today's key developers discuss what videogaming will be like in 2016, the year in which Edge will publish its 300th edition... (on the brain internet)
Edge's Editor-in-Chief, Tony Mott said of the occasion: "We were keen to mark Edge's 200th edition with something special, although we set ourselves a tough task in selecting 200 covers that would represent videogaming's diversity. Ultimately we're confident that every Edge reader will be able to find something among the final choices that resonates with their gaming life, and we look forward to seeing which designs prove particularly popular."
