MEGA (November 1992)

MEGA is a magazine that was published in the U.K. and dedicated to the Sega Genesis, or Mega Drive as it was known there. The November 1992 issue includes:

• Mega City - The big news this month is that a Labour MP is campaigning for a drop in the price of carts (good news), and that the Future Entertainment Show is almost upon us. It'll be a game player's paradise and what's more, MEGA will be there (even better news), PLUS! All the latest games news from USA and Japan.


• The Charts - Once again MEGA takes a look at what's driving the punters wild this month. Yes, it's the top 20 official releases and import games.


• Does Dominik Diamond Really Know What He's Talking About, Or What? - True games master or fraud? MEGA finds out if the host of Channel 4's Gamesmaster show, the self-styled "spokesman of videogamers in Britain today: actually knows diddly squat about his subject. Throughout the first series, Mr. Diamond (as his bank manager calls him) came in for a lot of stick from mags who accused him of knowing less than a particularly laid-back blancmange. Neil West decided to find out for himself, as once more MEGA probes the stars (whether they like to be probed or not).


• Inspect A Gadget! - (Sorry, great feature, sorry about the sad, pathetic pun.) This is where MEGA shows you everything you ever wanted for your Mega Drive but never knew existed, lists every add-on, gadget and widget available, then tells you if they're any good and where to get hold of them.
