Notable Stuff:

  • You can't play US TG-16 games on your Japanese PC Engine according to the letter column.
  • Reviewer Steve Harris refers to Spell Caster as Sega's Simon's Quest and means that nicely.
  • "...GameBoy could well be the Walkman of the 1990's..." says the pull quote from the Behind the Screens article.
  • Fujitsu's awesome FM Towns PC/gaming console hybrid never makes it across the pond, which is a pity.
  • That Super Famicom they claim is the final design? It's not (Nintendo changes the controller buttons and a couple other bells-and-whistles on the system before it goes into production).
