Help Preserving SEGA MegaZone Magazine Project
Posted: Tue Dec 31, 2019 9:21 am
Hey guys,
Obviously this place is filled with retro gaming fans of the 8bit & 16bit console era otherwise many of these great fan games and preservation projects here wouldn't be happening haha! However if some of you are Australian, you have a good retro gaming mate who’s an Aussie, or you know a retro gaming influencer with Aus fans then maybe you can help with this preservation project.
I’ve been working with others to try and digitally preserve copies of a great old Australian video game electronics magazine called MegaZone that covered PC & Amiga (with a particular focus on point & click adventures), Atari, Nintendo and a lots of SEGA stuff (it eventually became SEGA only in its final years).
At this point in time 42 of the 56 issues have been found and scanned by various collectors and myself leaving 14 issues still missing, all from the magazines earliest years. Many of the magazines found are missing their posters and some occasionally had supplement mini books that may be missing too. We’re also trying to digitize any MegaZone TV commercials out there on old VHS video cassettes as we have rescued 2 but know there are more (I remember seeing more as a kid).
More info about what MegaZone is and how people can help here:
