VG&CE magazine and 90s media — Forgotten Worlds VG&CE, Video Games and Computer Entertainment, Video Games: The Ultimate Gaming Magazine,

Oh yeah, I previously spoke to former staff writer and editor Chris Bieniek about his time at VG&CE magazine. Article here 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/vgce-magazine

Check out that list of systems covered:

Nintendo, Sega, NEC, Atari, IBM, Apple, Commodore, Amiga 🧐

Pure nostalgia. The Simpsons on the cover of VG&CE magazine…

Classic Sega games for Gameboy Advance. Familiar, but not quite right…

I feel like we lost something in the move to digital. Box art and promo art became less relevant, which is a damn shame.

We need to bring back epic RPG box art.

Old school JRPG vibes from Romancia. Released in 1986 by Nihon Falcom…

In all its retro glory… The Sharp Famicom Titler.

I miss overly engineered, limited run home consoles… Like the Sharp Famicom Titler. An official collabo from 1989, it was designed to create custom videos made from recorded gameplay footage…

Not intentional. But there you go 🤷🏻‍♂️

That wasn’t intentional. But I’ll take it.

Remember Game Zone magazine? It doesn’t get mentioned much these days, but its short lived run in the early 90s highlighted an industry in transition. Link below…👇

Pre PlayStation, back when Sony Imagesoft was a thing.

Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Alternative Japanese print ad…

SkyBlazer for the Super Nintendo. I reviewed this one back in the day for a high school zine.

The PR agency would send over ROM chips you had to carefully place on a circuit board to play the game. Which was always slightly terrifying…

Yeah, it was pretty dull when I finally played it many years later. Nice box art though.

“A broken, ruinous, shambolic travesty of a bad parody.”

Here’s a throwback to when I finally got my hands on these old games and reviewed them 👉 www.forgottenworlds.net/blog/renovat...

#Sega #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive

The Renovation games for Sega Genesis looked amazing back in the day. Or the ads did anyway.

Only problem was you couldn’t buy them in PAL territories…

I bought an bunch of back issues from eBay recently. What a time for the industry…

“Can Sony handle the PlayStation?”

Next Gen magazine circa 1995….

More Japanese ads for the Atari Lynx.

Which I assume is a pretty niche games library…

Thanks for the insights. Much appreciated.

Clash at Demonhead.

Released for the NES in 1989.
