    Default Sega Challenge/Team Sega newsletter

    Sega Challenge/Team Sega was an amazing (and very rare) newsletter in the late 80's. I am the original owner of all seven issues, and am in the process of scanning all of the issues to .pdf. So far I have done issue #4, and will post the rest shortly. Enjoy!

    Zillion fanart. Almost brings a tear to my eye.

    I wonder if those mailbag letters are real, they all read like thinly guised advertisements.

    Awesome!!! This is great news, I've had zero luck trying to track any of these down myself. I'm so glad someone is scanning them, thanks a lot.

    An excellent read! Thanks for all the hard work and good luck repairing the first few issues. I had no idea these existed. I just assumed that Sega Visions was the first Sega Mag.

    I have three of these. They're okay. Very light reading.

    Sega Visions was awesome because they had comics of that dude in sunglasses who devoted every waking hour to pizza and Game Gear. He eschewed all other responsibilities and really inspired me to not live my life.

    I have been a Sega fan for a long
    time, and I still think it is the best.
    I have 11 cartridges, and can't
    wait to get more. I also can't wait
    to get the hot game SHINOBI.™
    It is the best game ever. Overall,
    I think Sega is the greatest, and
    it will remain the greatest for a
    long time.
    Yeah... those letters are fake.

    Issue # 5 is scanned and now up. Here it is, where all the scans will now be neatly placed in a simple html I just wrote up.

    Wow, actual coverage on Lord Of The Sword. It's like stepping into an alternate reality.

    Who wants an Out Run shirt from the back of the issue's order form? I know I do.

    These newsletters are so painfully 80s. I love them.

    Being a sucker for old magazines I really appreciate your effort on scanning and putting these up. Thanks!

    It is proving very difficult to scan the rest. Issues # 1-3 are in the process of being freeze dried, and this could take months with no guarantees. Issue #7's cover has just been scanned, but do to water damage each page is still partially stuck at the bottom. I'll see what I can do with this, it's not too bad.
