Dengeki PC-Engine Tokubetsu-ban - Scan

SuperPlay · 09/21/2013, 02:23 PM

Today I bring you another fine scan from my collection. This time it is Dengeki PC-Engine Tokubetsu-ban.

The magazine is only 20 pages, however this issue includes a review of the unreleased game Missile Fighter.

A big thank you to esteban for hosting the files.

I'm listing all the Japanese PCE magazines at the top of the table.

¥9,800/~$92(06/1993 rates) for Street Fighter II'! Was that high price(for a huey) because of it's popularity or because it used a mapper?

how can you make such clean scans if not taking each page appart?

So, was Missile Fighter a PC Engine CD game which was never released, or what is it?

It is easy when you have one of these:

Yes, very nice scan indeed. It's like it wasn't scanned at all, but rather based on pre-press artwork...

Do any of the gurus (Covell!) have more info/scans about MISSILE FIGHTER?

CLICK IMAGE FOR FULL PAGE (this service is for lazy bastards who don't download full .pdf of magazine)

And why isn't anyone interested in this? Sure, it doesn't look like a great game (artwork is unimpressive), but it had potential to be a lot of fun (granted, finding the ideal mechanics/balance for 2-, 3-, 4- player battles would have taken work and is not easy...but still...the developers may have been able to stumble/implement a winning formula!)

Anyway, I'm curious.

QUESTION: Is there a 1-player and/or 5-player mode discussed in this article?
