Hello,



I bought a stack of these years ago and never did any digging on them... They are actually a BIWEEKLY publication! I approx 24 of these from numbers 1-28 missing a few in between. All from 1988. How friggin cool that back in the 80s some kids were lucky enough to have a twice a month video game mag!



Great magazine too! All kinds of really cool color pics and import stuff etc.



Does anyone one where this came from or any type of info on it? I have googled etc and nadda. Thank you all!78857886

The lack of hiragana at all on the covers makes me think this is Chinese.

Yes, that's a Taiwanese magazine. I found the title written as " 星際 遊楽雑誌" in Chinese characters (though some of the characters don't match up, so perhaps a Chinese speaker here can correct me.)

I have one issue of this magazine, which I wrote about here: http://www.chrismcovell.com/secret/OTH_1991Q4.html

If you have lots of issues, would you consider scanning them for posterity? Sure, many pictures and articles are cribbed from the Japanese magazines of the day, but HK/Taiwanese mags of that era do have some historical importance.
