This is the 2nd issue in the Dengeki Playstation D series (meaning it came with a disc full of demos, movies, and other content). These issues are much shorter than a typical issue of Dengeki PlayStation, as the disc itself was meant to be the primary content. As such, I urge anyone unfamiliar with Dengeki PlayStation to download one of the other issues to get a sense of what the magazine is really like.

I've streamlined my Photoshop-fu, editing this 228 page beast in under 3 hours, and the results (in my opinion) are indistinguishable from back when I took 3 times as long to get it done. Fie upon the clone stamp! All hail content-aware fill! Huzzah!

Lots of good stuff this issue including in-depth strategy sections for Resident Evil 2, Tomb Raider 2, Tales of Destiny and Xenogears.
Other games include Parasite Eve, Final Fantasy V, Gran Turismo, Bushido Blade 2, Tenchu, and as always, tons of coverage of games that never saw a western release.

Lotsa good stuff this issue. The main features:
Parasite Eve (25 pages and a poster!) Resident Evil 2 (18 pages) Tekken 3 (10 pages) Xenogears (8 pages) Bushido Blade 2 (6 pages) Final Fantasy V (6 pages) By the way, the fold-out poster I stitched together looks pretty great. If anyone is interested in having a full-size copy (much bigger than the one included in this file), I uploaded it here: https://mega.nz/#!EBxjzCpS!Yv2RRJsutCUNNUuPDZxjs8-MBHFzbfOzmRO0JX6KfnE
It's full 600dpi at 6026x9100px and could be printed out as an actual poster by a printing service if you were so inclined.

Saga Frontier 2, Metal Gear Solid, and Suikoden II are just a few of the games featured here that Western gamers are familiar with. But as always, the main interest here (for me, anyway) are the dozens upon dozens of Japanese-only exclusives you might not have read about before. ENJOY!
232 pages
Please note that there was one page that had been torn out of the magazine. The front side was the second half of a two-page advertisement and is missing from this scan. The back side was a different ad, which I have included here using an identical copy of the ad from a different magazine.
EDIT: The missing page has been provided by Akane and is now included in the download, making this mag COMPLETE!😎

Merry Christmas! (well, that's the cover date, anyway.)
As always with Dengeki P, lots of RPG and giant robot coverage (I mean, this IS Japan, after all.) All in all, 264 pages of PlayStation goodness. I've eschewed including stitched-together two-page joins this time, but when viewed in two-page mode, those pages (ads, mostly) should look seamless, since they were joined together during the editing process, edited as a single pic, and then separated again.
Sometimes these Japanese mags are just ornery: The files within the cbr are numbered correctly, but you'll notice that the page numbers don't always match what's printed on the page. That's because there were lots of strange instances of unnumbered pages. For example, there was a multi-page advertising section where the first and last pages of the ad were given page numbers, but the middle 4 pages, which were printed like a fold-out poster, went unnumbered. Another advertising section was printed on a series of pages of differing widths. Only the full-sized pages were given numbers, while the narrower pages all went unnumbered. Craziness!! Thanks to the fold-out section, I actually had to swap one page's location in order to ensure that further pages would be paired with the correct facing page when viewing in two-page mode (don't worry, you'll never even know which one).

Well, I had intended on releasing these in the order I scanned them, but the first issue I scanned is on hold while the cut-off dates in the database wait to be fixed. So for now you get an issue from a couple years earlier - in this case the start of 1999 with the first of what promises to be many Gundam covers.
As this is the first issue of D.P. to be put up, I'll say that my general impression is that in contrast to most English magazines, it devotes a large chunk of its coverage to in-depth strategy sections, as opposed to short previews of upcoming games (though of course it has those too.) There is an insane amount of information in these issues and were anyone inclined to actually read every word from cover to cover, it would probably take twice as long as an American mag of the same length.

Dengeki PlayStation 100 (March 12, 1999)
By kitsunebi
Celebrate 100 issues of Dengeki PlayStation with 50 pages of Final Fantasy VIII coverage. And not one, but two memory card sticker sheets. Every time I run across one of these, there's always a sticker or two missing and I wonder what games they were for. And did the person who took them actually put them on a memory card or just stick them somewhere else, like the back of a volkswagon?

Dengeki PlayStation 101 (March 26, 1999)

There's another 24 pages of FFVIII coverage here, but perhaps because FFVIII already graced the cover of the past two issues, they've given the cover to Chocobo Racing, despite it only getting 2 pages of coverage. Also getting 2 pages (but no cover - sorry, you-know-who) is Tomb Raider III, pretty much the only non-Japanese game in the entire issue (Spyro the Dragon gets half a page.)

Dengeki PlayStation 103 (April 9, 1999)
By kitsunebi
Japan doesn't bother releasing most Western games. But when they do, it's interesting to see how they market them. Case in point, Spyro the Dragon. I like Spyro. I find it a very relaxing game to play. Just run around looking for hidden gems or whatever (forgive me, it's been 20 years since I played it) without too much danger or difficulty. Which is appropriate, as it's essentially a kids' game. So how does Japan market it? As seen in this issue's ad, Spyro zooms by, blowing up Japanese school girls' skirts. Because someone looked at the game and thought "what this childrens' game's ad campaign needs is a little bit of sex." Of course, the Japanese release of Spyro was a mess since they mucked with the camera while trying to cater to the common (at that time) Japanese complaint that 3D cameras made people get motion sickness (I call bullshit, but whatever. Japan eventually realized that 3D was here to stay, so this isn't a complaint heard anymore.) So, the Japanese version probably deserved to fail as it did. But you can also take a gander at the Japanese logo for Spyro if you want to see where the American developers got the idea to name Spyro 2's villain, since the stylized katakana for Spyro looks a lot like alphabet characters spelling "Ripto."

There was apparently a SaGa Frontier 2 supplement which came with this issue, but my copy didn't include it. It DID include the second supplement...a sticker sheet of memory card stickers. Thank god for that LOL. A scan of some memory card stickers is even less useful than actual memory card stickers, but it's preserved for prosperity now anyway. Well, except for the few that the previous owner removed. I guess someone out there uses memory card stickers, after all. 🙃

Coincidentally, Star Wars: The Phantom Menace was released during same time period as this mag's cover date. Twenty-five years later, not a single person has ever gone on record accusing Dengeki PlayStation #106 of destroying their childhood, however.

Dengeki PlayStation 110 (June 25, 1999)
By kitsunebi
I've scanned so many issues of Dengeki PlayStation with some Gundam game or other on the cover that I had to check to make sure I hadn't already uploaded this one. But nope, this is 252 pages of not-uploaded-here-before material LOL. I'm old enough to look through this mag and think "oh yeah, I own a lot of these games" without thinking of them as "retro." Grandia and Incredible Crisis were two favorites reviewed this ish...

Dengeki PlayStation 112 (July 9, 1999)
By kitsunebi
According to Sony's ad, there are two types of games. "Octopus games" are so addictive you get calluses on your fingers from playing so much.
Then there are "eggplant games" which are silly but addictive. Like eggplants. Apparently.
Well, I mean, that's what they SAY...
Octopus shmoctopus...what I'm really seeing here is "a Japanese game with tentacles will give you calluses from playing with "it" too much."
And do we even need to address the symbolism of the eggplant??? 😬 yyyyeeeaaahhhh....

This here's a magazine 'bout PlayStation games. I reckon some of 'em you heard of, and some of 'em you ain't. Either way you got near two hunnerd'n fifty pages full of purty pictures and lots of them squiggles they call writin' in Japan. Get it while the gettin's good, y'all.

Dengeki PlayStation 115 (August 13/27, 1999)
By kitsunebi
Sometimes I struggle to have anything interesting to say here, and I think, maybe I should just type:
Dengeki PlayStation Vol.115 (August 13/27, 1999)
and leave it at that, just like anyone else would do. But then I think, nah, I've gotta say SOMETHING, no matter how small or insignificant an observation it might be. So today, I bring you a line dashed off in one of the Syphon Filter reviews which says something like "The exhilarating feeling of becoming a strong hero like 007...and defeating bad guys is truly American!"
How ya like them apples, UK? 😜

Dengeki PlayStation 117 (September 10, 1999)

Is there a more data-packed mag than Dengeki PlayStation? Not that I've ever seen. I'm not talking about typical magazine preview fluff, or data on how many polygons the game's engine can crunch, but rather just cold hard in-game data. Just count the numbers of charts and graphs tracking the tiniest details that appear in DP's pages. I wonder how much of this stuff got reused in strategy guides...

Dengeki PlayStation 120 (October 8, 1999)
By kitsunebi
Before writing in this box, I always do a quick flip-through of the mag and comment on whatever happens to strike my fancy, so to speak. This time, it was Bruce Willis. Bruce's rugged bald pate from the ad for his PS1 masterpiece, Apocalypse, really stood out from the rest of the ads, not to mention the rest of the games featured in the mag. It's just so...Western. Not that Apocalypse is the ONLY Western game to appear in this issue, but the other one is Crash Racing, and that's just cute enough to almost pass as a Japanese game. But Bruce can't be bothered with cuteness, he's too busy blowing $@^& up. Yippee kay yay, mother trucker.

Another Japanese magazine, another Gundam cover. These things can't be helped - it's like expecting something other than a car on the cover of a Car & Driver magazine. Which coincidentally might not have been a bad choice, as there's a cover story on Gran Turismo 2. Plus, lots of RPG strategy with sections on Parasite Eve 2, Tokimeki Memorial 2, Chrono Cross, Growlanser, Valkyrie Profile, and Little Princess: Marl Ōkoku no Ningyō Hime 2 (the sequel to Nippon Ichi's Rhapsody.)
This issue had a hell of a lot of glue that got everywhere during de-binding, so cleaning it up took longer than usual, but I think it turned out all right in the end. Enjoy!
