Play Online

Play Online covered computer games, with a particular focus on those that featured an online component.  Unlike other Japanese magazines about computer games, Play Online primarily covered Western releases, and regularly included such things as coverage of overseas net games, developer interviews and hardware reviews, also uncommon in Japanese computer gaming mags.

  1. Play Online No.028 (October 2000)

    Non-scanners may not realize that it's required that something be put in this space when submitting a file, even if you have nothing to say, which is why you'll see most people just copy/paste the file name here.  But not me.  I aim to give you more bang for your buck with information you wouldn't get with a mere copy/pasted file name.  Valuable, top-secret insider info you won't get anywhere else.  Like the fact that it's required that something be put in this space when submitting a file.
    You're welcome.

  5. Play Online No.032 (February 2001)

    I know some people probably prefer the chaotic "graphic design by Jackson Pollock" style of Japanese video game magazines, but I'm glad this mag has a more Western aesthetic, particularly as it primarily covers Western games.  It's just a handsome mag, in my opinion - one that lays its info out in a clear, easy to read format suitable for adults, as opposed to the "HEY! LOOK OVER HERE!!" style of the video game mags.

  6. Play Online No.033 (March 2001)

    Here it is y'all.  Unless someone can provide evidence to the contrary, this is the only Japanese magazine EVER with Lara Croft on the cover. 
    Just don't expect any Tomb Raider game coverage anywhere in the issue LOL. 🤔
