Famitsu Issue 1305 (December 19, 2013)

By kitsunebi

This is almost a 300 page mag (296 pgs), but there's one big difference from a similarly-sized American mag:
Famitsu 1305: 296 pgs. 33 pages contain advertising EGM 88: 294 pgs. 147 pages contain advertising Famitsu: 11% ads
EGM: 50% ads
That's even more impressive when you consider that Famitsu produced this much non-advertising content on a weekly basis. And the Famitsu costs less than the EGM despite having (one would assume) significantly less ad revenue.
Not that I'm knocking ads. Ads are fun. Just pointing out a difference.

PC Player Issue 02 (January 1994)

By kitsunebi

Scanned by the Great and Wonderful J of Oz
If you don't love at least a couple of the games in this mag, we grew up playing very different games from one another. The first feature article is about point-and-click adventures for crying out loud. I still have a flaming Max-head cap to this day...
And would you believe I bought this mag right here in Japan?

Total Control Issue 0 (October 1998)

By Argus

This magazine was a bit more of a restoration project than a typical scan. All pages had wrinkles I couldn't flatten out and had to touch up in Photoshop, but the worst offender was page 9, which had a lot of faded text (8 had it as well, but not near as bad). Normally I'd consider this a write off, but considering the rarity of the magazine I'm not sure when I'd find another copy, if ever (at least, I think it's rare. Haven't seen it mentioned or scanned anywhere else). So, I decided to take the time to replace the lettering bit by bit - not a hard job by any means, just incredibly tedious.

As for the magazine itself, one thing that surprised me was how little overlap there is between issue 0 and issue 1. Some games aren't mentioned at all in issue 1, and those that are have their articles re-written (Space Station: Silicon Valley goes from a Beta Look to a full review between issues, for example). No clue if that's the norm or the exception for preview issues, but I thought it was interesting regardless.

What's the best-selling game out of all 3 systems? Hint: it's not Final Fantasy VII (that one's not even in the top 5...)
