  review: We're stretching the envelope reeeeeeeally long when we call this
  a mag, but that's what TRC is calling it, so... It's really a nicely
  designed wraparound for what is precious little text. The 'mag' part is
  just 5 lines of text in the middle of the screen, with the main attraction
  for the demo freak here the lush audio-visuals...unusually colorful for
  its time. There's not much text, just news and a few movie reviews (keep
  in mind that VHS pirate copies of new films were as big as software piracy
  back then - though possibly not quite as large as internet movie piracy is
  now ;]). [glenn]
