About This File

This entire magazine is read right-to-left.  Your CBR reader must be set to Japanese/manga mode in order for facing pages to be oriented correctly.

Famimaga never had the most eye-grabbing covers, in my opinion, and if you can't read Japanese, you'd be hard-pressed to guess what was being covered by looking at the cover.  Here are some of the main games featured inside:

Final Fantasy III

Dragon Quest IV

Dragonball 3

Ys II

Double Dragon II

Square's Tom Sawyer (so racist)

U.S. Championship V'Ball

Abadox

Tashiro Masashi Princess ga Ippai (starring a real-life convicted pervert, fined for voyeurism and jailed for drug use)

Twinbee 3

Tashiro Masashi Princess ga Ippai (starring a real-life convicted pervert, fined for voyeurism and jailed for drug use)

I, for one, am utterly shocked that a guy starring as himself in a video game called "Tashiro Masashi: Too Many Princesses" (I think I got that right, not 100% though, please advise) would turn out to be a real-life convicted pervert. I mean, what are the odds? :)

You're 100% right about that cover artwork being bland. Why isn't Dragon Quest IV artwork plastered all over the exterior of this thing? It's like they didn't even want it to stand out on the racks. :)

Close enough.  Closer to "Full of Princesses" or even just "Lots of Princesses," but I think it's fair to say that either of those situations qualifies as "too many princesses".🙂

Looking carefully at the cover, I GUESS it's some sort of abstract representation of volleyball, since they covered U.S. Championship V'Ball.  But man, Famimaga ALWAYS had ugly covers.  And yet it seems to be held even dearer to the hearts of Japanese old school gamers than Famitsu, despite the latter ultimately outlasting it.  It's one of the few Japanese gaming mags printed R-L, so maybe that makes it more endearing despite the fugly covers?
