The Complete Guide to Consoles volume 4 was released in 1990. It featured reviews of “13 different consoles.” Which sounds absurd by today’s standards…

GameFan layouts were amazing back in the day. Also, is Night Striker on Mega CD any good?

Super Mario All Stars was released in 1993. An early example of older titles being remade for a new console generation… I loved those pastel colour tones.

Released for arcades in 1989, I played the heck out of the Mega Drive conversion.

Double Dragon. Famicom box art from 1988. A lot more abstract than what we got in the west… 👀

Nintendo Famicom. “Let’s take on the challenge.”

I appreciate the minimalism and restraint in this promo…
