The Official U.S. PlayStation Magazine was as the title describes, the official publication for PlayStation products in the U.S. It covered multiple generations of PlayStation hardware but in 1999, it was still just the original PlayStation. The March 1999 issue includes:

I had never seen this magazine before, it looks very interesting, I imagine reading it right around the time it came out, it must have been very interesting.
I used to love getting these magazines. Where I lived in the States the video game magazines were the only ones other than porno mags that were wrapped in plastic because we would just go to the bookstore, read them in there and not buy them. I know it was a devious tactic on our part, but we didn't have much money.
Somehow reading the same content online from IGN or whoever just doesn't have the same feel to it.
These magazines were long consumed, they were basically replaced by what is now the video game press. By the way, funny about the Silent Hill headline lol
