Let’s be real: if you ever tore open a fresh issue of Electronic Gaming Monthly like it was Christmas morning, this documentary is your emotional time machine.
“Pixels to Pages: The Story of Electronic Gaming Monthly” isn’t just nostalgia bait—it’s a love letter to the golden age of print gaming journalism. Coury and Joe (of Game Sack) spent six years piecing together interviews with EGM’s legendary editors, writers, and photographers, all while working on other projects. No fancy CGI. No reenactments. Just raw, unfiltered stories—like how they snuck screenshots before anyone else, or the legendary “Sheng Long” April Fools’ hoax that fooled everyone, including Nintendo.
And yes, Sushi-X? Finally explained. (Spoiler: He was real. And kind of a legend.)
What’s wild? The whole doc is made up only of interviews—no on-screen hosts, no voiceovers. Just the voices that shaped gaming’s early media landscape. Even the theme music? A collab between Coury and Joe’s show composers.
If you remember waiting for EGM to drop, or just admire the hustle of pre-internet gaming media—this is your must-watch. It’s not about pixels. It’s about people who made those pixels matter.
Watch it. Then go find your old EGM issues. You’ll cry. Or maybe just yell “Sushi-X!” at your cat.
