Masters of the Game: Special Sweepstakes Edition (1992)

Masters of the Game was a newsletter from Acclaim Entertainment that promoted the games it, and its subsidiary LJN, published. I've got a few issues Acclaim mailed myself, all for free, though a couple that I have display $3 and $3.50 cover prices. I can't imagine anyone actually purchased them, as they're quite small, and a video game magazine with coverage of a wide variety of games for about the same price would have been more enticing. Of course, most of Acclaim's games either featured licensed properties or were home ports of popular arcade games, which didn't appeal to everyone.

This particular issue says "Special Sweepstakes Edition" on the front cover, and the back cover does have a quiz and entry form for a contest with an entertainment center as the top prize. While I couldn't find a published date within the newsletter, the sweepstakes shows a cutoff date of November 1, 1992, so I'd guess it was released in fall 1992.
