I remember reading this article back in the day. Thanks for the scans.
-
I wish I could get the other page of the article from TGM April 1990, looks like there was a mail-in flyer over it when it got scanned.

That flying control pad is huge !! wow
-
Not being from the UK, these are great for me to see for the first time.

I remember seeing the SGX on a news report on TV in the early 90’s in the UK (newsround, before Neighbours?). It was a feature about a young lad who was ill and undergoing chemotherapy and they went to his home to film his everyday life, and in one scene he was playing After Burner II on his SGX. Weird that I remember that...

I have more for you all!
Awesome, I love all this stuff... especially the dude raving about the GIANT BOULDER! Ha! I know it is a big object (it is), but it's just a damn BIG BROWN BOULDER (BBB) and isn't nearly as exciting as the character sprites in China Warrior/The Kung Fu. That said, this IS an ARCADE KUNG FU game...
:)
More importantly, I love the photo of the cute woman/man wearing Z Cavariccis and proudly holding the PCE... we need more...
...and although the soundtrack to OutRun truly kicks ass, the music in Victory Run is pretty good, too (but I wouldn't say that Victory Run tunes > OutRun tunes like the author of the article!)
...anyway, lots of fun reading that! It has a BILLION times more personality/enthusiasm than most articles...
OH YEAH, BEFORE I FORGET:
10 games were out for PCE (damn!) with Namco soon to release a bunch... wow, that's crazy...
...such humble roots...
...30 year anniversary, indeed!

It's really time consuming looking for PCEngine articles in all these UK magazines, but Retro CDN and Google's internet archive are valuable resources. I continue to search for more, perhaps others could help out as well!
Edit: from ZZap!64 issue 48 - April 1989.

and May 1989.

Some notable errors though. PC Engine released October 1987, not August 1988, and the SuperGrafx never made it to the states, not "barely made it" unless you count imports!

I wish I could read French... Joystick issue 8 - September 1990.

SGX ENGINE: I will be reading these when I get a chance, but I wanted to pre-emptively say "thank you!" for the reading material...

SGX Engine-You are doing God's work, thank you. What a treat it is to see all these old printings again, and some are even new to me. Print is forever.
I don't know if it will help your arduous task at all, but there is a playlist on my YouTube channel titled 'Retro Magazines'. I went through every issue of ZERO, C+VG (Mean Machines section), Sinclair User, ACE, RAZE (they covered the PCE heavily) and The Games Machine (what a magazine) and anything PCE will be shown. Although way too small to read/enjoy and thus screen grab, the videos are there for a reference anyway, if needs be, for those mags.
JAPJAC - Thank you for mentioning your YouTube channel.
The 'Retro Magazines' playlist is making what I wanted to do, in finding PCE articles, considerably easier, it's excellent as a reference.

REQUEST: If you one (both! Division of labor!) of you fine bastards type up a list, I will happily include it in my reference table here:
http://archives.tg-16.com/magazine_database.htm
NOTE: please note any specific games/page numbers (to make it as useful as possible).
I have actually been working on a major update to that table and my long-neglected project to document all that is PCE.
:)
