Cover of the November/December 1991 issue of Mega Play
Mega Play was a Sega specific magazine covering mostly the Sega Genesis, Game Gear and related accessories. It was published by the same publishers as EGM so for a while they were publishing EGM, EGM2, Mega Play, and Super Play. The first issue of Mega Play was included as a freebie with EGM. The November/December 1991 issue includes:
- Editorial - Things look rosy for Sega as Genesis hardware and software sales exceed expectations with the Mega CD/Sega CD coming soon.
- Mega Mail - Letters from readers about RGB mode on the Genesis, a new Genesis design, playing Master System games on the Game Gear, and back issues.
- Hi-Tech Sega - A look at a handy new third-party accessory called the 'Master Gear Converter' that will allow you to play Sega Master System games on the Game Gear.
- Mega Tricks - Tips, tricks and cheat codes for Turrican (Genesis), Road Rash (Genesis), Spiderman (Genesis), Marvel Land (Genesis), Decapattack (Genesis), Saint Sword (Genesis), and Streets of Rage (Genesis).
- Genesis Does... - A more detailed look at some games coming out for the holiday season. Games spotlighted include Growl (Genesis), a violent fighting game from Taito; The Terminator (Genesis), based on the movie of the same name; Trouble Shooter (Genesis), a shooter somewhat similar to Forgotten Worlds; James Pond 2: Robocod (Genesis), a platform game featuring a fish; Shadow of the Beast (Genesis), a fantasy based side-scrolling beat-em-up; Cal. 50 (Genesis), a top down action game in which you must rescue the prisoners; F-22 Interceptor (Genesis), a combat flight sim; Toki (Genesis), a translation of the arcade game; Sonic the Hedgehog (Game Gear), now on Sega's portable platform; Halley Wars (Game Gear), a sci-fi themed shooter; and Bio-Ship Paladin (Mega Drive), a shooter with a unique twist.
- Review Crew
- Y's 3 - Sadly, not as good as the Y's games on the TurboGrafx-16.
- The Terminator (Genesis) - Take the role of John Conner in this action game based on the movie. Better than most licensed games.
- Robocod (Genesis) - Better than the original James Pond.
- Trouble Shooter (Genesis) - Play Madison and Crystal as they fly around blasting everything in their quest to find the king's son.
- John Madden '92 (Genesis) - Back when the Madden games were really good.
- Mario Lemieux Hockey (Genesis) - An average hockey game.
- Cal. 50 (Genesis) - A translation of the arcade game. Reminds me of games like P.O.W. and Ikari Warriors.
- RBI 3 (Genesis) - Not really an improvement over the NES original.
- Game Over - A look at the ending of Batman...the game based on the 1989 movie.
