This is the last issue of Famitsu I have from the 80s. Though I normally work with Japanese mags, I just scanned a USA mag from the same year (1989) and it's shocking the difference in quality of the paper stock used. Japanese mags from the 80s - thick and white to slightly off-white paper. USA mags - tissue-paper thin and yellowed/browned with age as all get-out. (Nintendo Power perhaps being the exception - that mag had some $$$ poured into it, I guess.)
