Auction just ended on those Mega Play issues. $32.11 - Not bad. About the EGM Top Score issue, I had that. I remember it arrived in my mailbox and I was puzzled why it wasn't a regular issue. This was a few months after I had subscribed to EGM.

Awesome! I'm hoping NG #27 and #48 are somewhere in this week's batch

Indeed Mark, it was a total blast seeing VG&CE #2 again. But I was wrong, the Phantasy Star review was actually in the August 1989 issue (thanks to the info on it). My memory is failing me, lol. One day I'll see that nice Genesis preview in that issue as well.

OMG, thank you!

Last time I saw that magazine was the spring of 1989!

I really hope somebody has VG&CE issue 2 / February 1989. If I am remembering correctly this issue has a review of the original Phantasy Star for the Sega Master System.

Thank you! I just downloaded it,read the article, and although I'm not 100% certain this is the same article I read in the 90s, I believe it most likely was.

I clearly remember reading a U.S. magazine (okay could be UK but I doubt it) at a bookstore in the mid-late 1990s about NEC's ill-fated SuperGrafx, you know the beefed up PC-Engine that only had 5 dedicated games made for it (plus 2 that were bi-compatible with original PCE) The article specifically mentions that around 50,000 SuperGrafx consoles were manufactured. For a long time I believed this was in an Electronic Games (LC2) in the Test Lab column, but going through the posted contents of each magazine here, I don't see it. It was not in EGM, GamePro or GameFan. I believe it was published sometime in 1997 but I could be off by a couple of years. I'm thinking anywhere between 1995 and 1998. Would really at least like to know what magazine I'm even looking for. This is the place to ask!

This is one I'm really looking forward to as well. The 'Hot at the Arcades' column of course has Golden Axe, and the photo of it made me aware of the game for the first time. I had never heard of it until this issue.
