If you’re into motion capture, then this issue if for you. However, it’s not just basic motion capture here, this outlines and documents the motion capture process for both SoulCalibur and Tekken 3! Both complete landmark games. It’s quite a great look behind-the-scenes.
Additionally, there’s some other SoulCalibur character relationship pages, which is something to see, as the game had only hit arcades a few months earlier, and the Dreamcast version was still months away.
There’s an early peek at Armadillo Racing again, and some other wacky redemption-based games. We also see Gunbarl! Which I believe it Point Blank 2, as well as some other PSX titles coming home soon.
There’s Techno Drive in here, which never came home in any form, I believe it’s been emulated, though. One heck of a cabinet on that one.

Are you aware that Namco has some (but not all) of NOURS already posted on their website? It’s not in the ideal form for preservation (each article is posted separately and there isn’t any contents/back cover) but it’s worth having a look.
