Team Sega Newsletter Issue 4

ISSUE: 4Content

Sega's own newsletter, mailed free to anyone who sent in the registration card for a Sega product (or had a friend sign them up via the mailing list). Sixteen pages, but we're seeing more ads than in previous issues.

  • Name the Sega Newsletter contest (see issue 6 to find out how that works out...)
  • Sega Input (all reader-submitted stuff winds up here, but we'll still break it down for you because we love you here at Retromags!)
  • Draw Your Favorite Sega Game Contest Winners (the 9-and-under and 10-15 crowd winners revealed...next issue shows 16-20 and 21+ winners)
  • Sega Software Checklist (Collect 'em, trade 'em with your friends...)
  • Tech Talk (Everything you ever wanted to know about the SegaScope 3D glasses)
  • Sega Accessories Order Form (Brand loyalty for life, yo! Also, this is the only place you can get Power Strike (SMS), so don't wimp out because supplies are limited...)
  • Scoreboard (The top 5 reader scores for Wonder Boy in Monster World (SMS)! Next month: Thunder Blade (SMS)!)

Coming Soon:

Notable Stuff:

  • Why, that's a Nintendo game featuring in the ad for the Pro Play Home Arcade Cabinet. Fancy Sega letting that happen, considering John Sauer's editorial next issue, eh?
  • Seriously, guys, there's no stage select for Space Harrier (SMS). Stop asking us about this!
  • Sauer Sez of Double Dragon (SMS), '...rumor has it there's a secret invincible mode hidden somewhere in the game.' No, John, there isn't. Quit playing games with our hearts.
  • A $5 rebate offer on Phantasy Star (SMS) which requires so many steps they have to print more comprehensive instructions for it next issue.
  • Features ads for Electronic Game Player magazine, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? (SMS), and Beeshu joysticks.
