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.

If I may ask, (or beg if need be)
I have 6 of the 7 issues (issues 2 through 7), all of them pretty much in perfect condition and I would be more then willing to scan them for everyone else. But what I REALLY REALLY would like is for you to take a picture (best quality possible at your end is fine) of the cover of issue 1. I have always wanted to get that first issue to complete my collection, and eventually I will, but for now, I don't even know what the heck it looks like! I have never seen it and would love to see what is on the cover. (my best theories have always been that Out Run made the cover).

Anyhow, it's to you.
Thanks!

Out Run did make the cover, how did you know? Right now it is in my freezer, stuck to issue # 2. No need to scan issue #2, as someone sent it to me and I'll put it up tonight or tomorrow. However, I would love if you can scan issue #3 and 7, as they may be beyond repair. I will put them online and give you full credit for the scan.

Issue #2 is now up, along with the scanned cover of issue #3, as well as scans of the original order forms.

Oh yeah, here is what Sega Challenge Issue #1 looked like. It's a small glimpse, but it's a start:

You got your credit wrong. You're attributing the scan of #2 to Sega Fans, when all they're doing is hosting the file. If I'm remembering correctly it was scanned by Matt at VideoGameObsession.com.

Not that anyone REALLY cares, but Matt is such a great guy that I want him to get whatever credit is coming to him!

The high quality, excellent conditioned issues of numbers 2 and 3 that I just bought arrived in the mail today. I scanned issue #2 (replacing the issue that I found on Sega Fans) and issue #3. Now, all that's left is issue #1 and #7. Covers of every issue are on the page for easy access. Enjoy!

Man where the heck did you find these things for sale? I'm impressed.

eBay. Issue #2 cost me $148.27, while issue #3 went for $146.50. I narrowly lost the bid for issue #1. I bid $300, and it sold for $305. I was furious, as I thought $300 would be enough.

Just scanned and uploaded #1 and created a new section for these:

I think your link is off. When clicking Sega Challenge #1, it goes to "Leisure Time Electronics."

These are awesome, though I totally enjoy some of the hilarious photo ops like this guy:




Kudos to you and thanks for preserving something these newsletters, I'm sure half the folks that were interviewed for them probably don't even remember.

Man, thanks for scanning these things. I've coveted these mags since they were released but I could never get my hands on them, and I always wondered what the content was. When I hit the lottery a complete set will be one of my first big purchases.

It took me nearly 5 years to find issue number 1 again, but I finally did (with patch and all!) for a decent price. So now all seven issues have been scanned. Enjoy!
