Such a shame Sushi Nights had to be removed entirely, Dev's attitude didn't help either. Nice video tho!

Oh damn I've been looking for this game's name for so long.

There is a DOS miami vice game thats very bad, worse than the CPC/C64 version

I am very slowly getting on top of my Watch Later list and have reached the end of June, hence this super late comment which hardly anybody will see, but on the subject of short-running magazines, from my PS1 magazine collecting journey I can present to you the following: PlayStation Magic with 2 issues (October 1999-November 1999) and PlayStation Sports with a single issue (Summer 1999). There is basically zero information about either of these publications online. I don't have PlayStation Magic issue 1, but I do have issue 2. PlayStation Sports I do have, so can confirm that it was supposed to be a quarterly tome, but I'm 99.9% sure the planned Autumn 1999 issue never released. Of course, I could be wrong and these mags may have ran for longer, but I would be genuinely shocked if this was the case considering the research I've done over the years. There are a couple of other PS1 magazines that had single-digit runs, but the above are by far the most obscure, to the extent that PlayStation Magic issue 1 is a white whale of mine (because I'm a massive nerd). Great vid as always :)

I see a lot of demos from a lot's of consoles. But you can't use most of this things in a game, may be for some intro for a very short time. Just because 256 kb are not enough.

What about the *Japanese* Daytona USA: Circuit Edition? I read that it's more refined over the international CCE.

Did you know that Virtua Fighter Remix was ready before the Saturn launch in Japan, but they still opted to launching the glitchy, uglier version anyways, just because they were SEGA? I didn't believe it myself at first, but it's true, SEGA's leaked docs and even easier to find, the disc files dates show this.

INFORMATION SUPER HIGHWAAAAAY

The games were better in every conceivable way outside of graphical fidelity, retro gaming is and always will be just fine. Especially with the modders/jailbreakers.

Given you have a copy of issues 2 and 4 you might have the majority of the content of issue 3.

As a (driving game) casual I always found Saturn Vanilla Daytona a solid 15 minutes of fun every time, especially with the Arcade Racer. I wasn't even aware of the remix; which seems less surprising as it's not available to buy on the X or PS3 stores, and CEX and eBay seem to have never heard of it either. Any idea how one gets to play it (and don't say Steam; I'm running a 386 here... ;-)?

You have a great sense of humor btw. Hope you’re channel continues to grow

Another belter of an episode, Dudley! Saturn Plus is another one I didn't know was a thing until this ep. I can't think of a more tragic mag tho with its speedrunning the decline of a magazine phase. Poor thing.

This gave me a flash back memory that may be false. I think we changed the date on our Saturn to affect Nights so we could see the Christmas content.

Did...did you really reference the Gameboy version of Race Drivin' when talking about Daytona?!? I mean, I've never played that version, but the only thing I thought those games had in common was that they were from the same genre...allegedly.

Multiple Nintendo consoles didn't launch with a Mario - GameCube and Wii U for sure. Switch. DS. Pretty sure 3DS didn't.

It's always a sad state of affairs that they tried to make a magazine but couldn't find any of their staff actually willing to work on it to the point the ones that did wouldn't even put their names on it. They were simply fulfilling their obligation. They could have at least tried to hire people that have a genuine interest in the Saturn but it really does show even just a year after it was released in the UK it was already pretty much dead and even the writers could see it was a waste of time writing a magazine that probably wasn't selling.

14:45 Tempted to start adding letters to my name to commemorate things in my life now. After years of having to tell people "It's not Phillip" I can say instead "it's Phillllip!" Curious on your thoughts on Galaxy 2 given your comments on Galaxy 1, do you not count it? See it as an improvement? Didn't feel like playing it? The only other magazine I am aware of that reprinted the level of content we see in Saturn+ early on is a non-gaming example, namely an official magazine targeting new American viewers to the Matt Smith era of Doctor Who, called Doctor Who Insider. Panini released a best-of special for the magazine... after only four 44-page issues. Like Saturn+ it was not long for this world, being cancelled after issue 9, and an attempted relaunch the following year only generated a single Winter 2012 special that was essentially just #10.

Excellent stuff. Very exciting to see the mythical post-issue 2 era I had no idea existed. Breathtakingly cynical stuff, I had completely forgotten that issue 2 reprinted all the reviews from issue 1 and changed the Johnny Bazookatone score though now that you've reminded me I think I was dimly aware that that had happened. I mean, I had both issues so I guess I must have been. So... Game Mania next?

Nice Video. Just one thing about Mario Games being Lanch Tiles. Nethier Sunshine, Odyssey and Galaxy (one of the best games ever made) where Lanch Tiles. The Gamecube Lanched with Luigi's Mansion (Sort of a Mario game, Maybe?) and both the Wii and Switch Lanched with Zelda Tiles. Also, Impact Racing getting a higher Score than Command and Conquer seems insane to me.

Another belting issue, Dudley. At least the bored tomb raider lady had done her hair in a nice plait. Knights into Dreams does look ace!

Great ep, and two Simpsons references too (technically correct & put it in H). I do hope that Super Polygon Grand Prix gets a console peasant release, looks absolutely brilliant.

Is Saturn plus issue 2 the only thing here reusing features?

I always sense a butt approaching lol x Great vid as always x

At 15:34 I thought for a second you said "tits section". Given this was the era of the lad mag I did have to go back and double check rather then just assuming i'd missheard.

Damn you yesterzine!! I have been trying to get my hands on a copy of issue 6 of Saturn+ for literally DECADES!! Also, it may well have reviewed Tomb Raider in issue 5, but it was VERY late to the Party - the cover date is december/january 1996/97 - Indeed I had completed the game within a month of it's launch and other magazines had started printing in-depth guides (I know, because at this point I had begun trying to complete the game with all the secrets!!). Indeed, the 'exclusive maps' were obviously done for the Powerstation special from Paragon (as all of the pictures are from the Playstation version of the game). same goes for the photoshoot I'd imagine, because as you correctly summarised, the publisher had obviously already given up on Saturn+ months before!! Very valid points for everything covered here gamewise, especially the Daytona coverage - pro-tip for Nights (besides buying a proper 3D pad) use boost more to keep your speed up!! Cheers anyway!! Seriously though - I really need issue 6!!

Should we start a spinoff Yesterzine series where we look exclusively at issues of Alien Encounters Magazine?

1:17 Um I don't think poundland was a thing back around that time?? Making this whole review false, soooooo I expect you to delete your whole channel Yesterday Thank you Saturn magizine snob

I didn't know it was wrong to say "twenty six hundred". I've never heard it pronounced any other way!

Betrayal at Krondor was absolutely freeware at the time, i distinctly remember Sierra themselves used to host the free download on their site (though researching this does reveal it was a bit of a mare to get running well as it was entirely unsupported by that point). I assume at some point it got cleaned up and put back on sale after the post-DOSBOX/GOG era made that an easy thing to manage again.

One little bit you missed in the hilariously complicated history of Commodore-Tramiel-ST-Amiga chaos is that the chap responsible for some of the particularly lovely things the Atari 8-bit micros could do, Jay Miner, was one of the lead designers of the Amiga. What an absolute mess that whole period was. I'm surprised the Atari enthusiast community held on in this country for as long as it did, but I think it came down to stubbornness and a sense of "well, if Atari aren't going to show these machines some love, we certainly will" -- the longest-running mag for the 8-bits and ST didn't finally fold until *1998*, although by that point it had reverted to A5-size fanzine style after a period of being a glossy publication on newsstands in the ST's heyday. Still, 1998 was well into PlayStation era, and they were *still* covering new releases for the 8-bit machines at that point!

The best C64 arcade racer I played was Power Drift. An excellent conversion and still fun to play today.

Well where do you buy the new SMS games???

I found out yesterday the Vita can emulate all 32x games perfectly and full speed 😮❤ My Android cant run some of them but the Dynarec makes them perfect on Vita. Been enjoying Tempo. Great game

Wow WEC Le Mans actually colours the player's car 😮❤ thats so rare but seems like it would be simple given the rest of the screen is a single colour. Fantastic stuff.

I know its not c64 but on the Speccy my fave driving game is Rubinho Cucaracho - im not a big driving game fan but played the entire campaign start to finish when i tried it. Its just such great fun. Anyone who hasnt played it, really needs to! Is Vita retro yet? As you mentioned sprite scaling - Horizon Chase is FANTASTIC. Really, really intense with the old style sprite scaling design and great music to draw you in.

I love the channel but dont think to watch so delighted to see this on my homepage and remind me to watch ❤

You can bet im playing bear George and frosty right now ……awesome games

While not technically a racer, Turbocharge is an example of what somebody competent can do. Ditto for Buggy Boy and Power Drift. Now, two of those games were written by Chris Butler, so there is that...

Netgear warmth might be one of your finest turns of phrase.

0:53 I still own that Victory Boxing Demo Disc from Saturn Plus, I think that was the only Issue I brought. I do recall a Master System Magazines from about 93 or 94 called Master Force. I think that only got about 3 or 4 issues.

Even though the sequence of events explain it, launching a new C64 mag in 1992 is still insane to me, sitting between the releases of Sonic and Street Fighter 2 on SNES. Still, the rabbit hole of Legally Distinct Power Magazine was fascinating!

04:35 Captain America I get that reference gif goes here :) 32:50 Couldn't find the CP tape? Oh Duds, why didn't you ask me??? My copy's been unplayed since I bought it 32 years ago and I think is still in the cellophane iirc... 35:55 "Will only fool you once but will always fool you once " Promptly gets fooled *a second time* o_O

Cool story. Love the theme song.

"I've never quite decided if the whole thing was satire, or just awful" /insert WHY NOT BOTH? meme here

ARGH! I found it! I knew I wasn't making it up! Game Mania. Issue 1 printed on newsprint in a tabloid format, just as I remembered. Turns out it was multiformat, not an Amiga mag, but otherwise it's 100% the same magazine I remember. Unfortunately it appears it did continue beyond that issue (looks like it made it to at least issue 5, and as promised did switch to a 'proper' magazine format) so it isn't the mythical 'one and done' mag I thought. But my god, it's good to know I wasn't completely mad. If anyone's interested, a copy of issue 1 is on eBay for £30 right now. It's not worth that but the seller has helpefully scanned almost every page so you can actually read it for yourself. It is absolutely extraordinary and very much betrays its origins as a mag written by two kids with a rich dad who paid for them to live their dreams of being games journalists. The channel James Talks Games Mags even did a video on it a few months ago, I now discover.

Hooray!

11:23 Half Life 8 confirmed !
