Sega Mania Magazine

Gone to Press. Expected ship date last week of October or sooner.

Five years. Ten issues. One very stubborn love of all things Sega.

Issue 10 is our biggest yet: a 112-page anniversary special, printed in full colour on silk paper with a gloss cover and a proper perfect-bound spine.

A cover to frame
Legendary Super Play artist Wil Overton has painted an exclusive anniversary cover packed with Sega icons. Inside, we profile the man behind three decades of instantly recognisable art, from fanzines to Rare and beyond.

The Life & Death of the 32X
Sex sells. The 32X didn't. Alex Aldridge pulls the plug on Sega's mushroom-shaped mistake: the launch, the lusty adverts, the four plug sockets and the slow death. It closes with the 5 best and 5 worst 32X games we actually got in Europe.
