MOTD Playstation Magazine Vol. 16 (Aug 29, 1997)

   A healthy amount of ads start the issue with Sony supporting the cause by buying a 2-pager which is followed by a 4-page DBZ Final Bout ad from Bandai. Front Mission 2 and Star Sweep also grab 2 pages each. Later in the magazine, another 2-page ad for Moon features artwork where all of the characters in the game are lined up in a group "photo." The first article in the magazine is called "2 Weeks News" which answers questions about the Playstation hardware from readers and also updates some news on Ehregeiz and Atelier Marie.

   A 17-page Front Mission Festival spread throws out a lot of information on Front Mission 2 and Front Mission Alternative. There's a bunch of data on the wanzers in both games, parts upgrades, characters, and the background stories. Loads of screenshots are also dispersed throughout the pages.
