Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sega Mania Magazine?

Sega Mania is an unofficial Sega Magazine in print that aims to capture the '90s magazine feel. Each issue covers a segment in time throughout Sega's history. Our first issue started in 1990 and we're moving forwards from that point with each magazine.

Where is the magazine created?

The magazine is designed in Somerset and printed in the UK.

The writing team work in locations all around the UK.

Why do new issues begin on Kickstarter? - They never used to!

After we took a long hiatus, we were uncertain of how the market would react to us making a sudden comeback.

Kickstarter has been a great platform for ensuring each issue gets properly funded and reduces the risks that can come with preorders.

I've been waiting ages for my order, what gives?

Most in-stock copies are shipped fairly quickly and you can view our shipping page for more infromation.

Some orders however are preorders or reprint orders. We will always state on the product page if this is the case. Please note that sometimes dates can change. We will always keep you up to date with this info where we can.

Do you offer subscriptions?

No. We're infrequent in our publishing schedule and the logistics of keeping up with subscriptions alongside periodic rises in printing and shipping costs make them a nightmare to manage!

Why are back Issues more expensive than current releases?

Once an issue goes out of stock, it is then provided directly by our print supplier. Because they are not printing in bulk the cost of production rises.

To keep the cost down, we collect no margin on reprints and they are provided to you entirely at cost.
