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 - the 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
p26-33 Dragon Quest VI preview with a small gallery of the monsters in the game, character profiles and stats. The games of chance that are playable are also shown (slots and poker) to entice fans with diversions.
p34-45 Famimaga pays the bills with a slew of ads including 2-pagers for DQVI, Parodius, Shiren the Wanderer 2, Ys V, Nobunaga's Ambition, and a 1-pager for Angelique Special Box.
p46-51 Donkey Kong Country 2 tips, items and barrel roster, and some nice screenshots of the action as simian heroes rage through the levels.
p52-59 Tales of Phantasia attack guide, weapons list, and background data.
p60-65 Shiren the Wanderer 2 gameplay information, character portraits and interesting locales to visit.
p66-71 Far East of Eden Zero maps, exploration scenes, and lots of photos.
p106-109 Puyo Puyo 2 stage information, chain reaction tips and a rogue's gallery of every opponent in the game.
p110-111 A little known game called Zenki is featured which is a side-scrolling platformer that was also released on the PC-FX.
p129 Space Invaders Virtual Collection for the Virtual Boy which looks pretty good. |

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 thick issue for 16-bit retro fans to learn what the citizens of Japan were playing in 1995. Price: $6.50 shipped
