A brightly decorated Bahamut Lagoon article kicks off
today's issue of Famimaga which was originally published
on December 1, 1995. Large screenshots, dragon profiles
and characters are examined over 4 pages. Next up, a
general Nintendo news piece shows Nintendo headquarters
in the USA, Killer Instinct, the upcoming N64 and The
Mask for the N64. There's also a look at the competition
- Playstation and Saturn.
The Top 30 Scramble section is always good for interesting tidbits
and we check out the new Tokimeki Memorial game for the
SFC and the madness of Cho Aniki Bakuretsu Rantouden.
Notable coverage in the issue

A little comic book is sandwiched near the
middle of the issue in which Compile's Arle character of
Puyo Puyo fame engages in escapades. All in all, another
nice issue for 16-bit retro fans to read what the
citizens of Japan were playing in 1995. Price: $6.50 shipped
with USPS Media Mail. |
