Their games coverage was actually really poor, and reveals more by what it omits than what it covers. It was a great magazine, and I wished I'd bought more copies. They also serialised the whole of Akira I seem to recall. Manga Mania used to be a monthly magazine covering manga, anime, and a tiny bit about games and 'The Internet'. These are scans from the few issues of Manga Mania which I own, and have a games related theme. But I thought it best to get these out now while everyone is taking a break and I'm waiting for the lamb to finish roasting in my oven. Corsair has practically scanned an entire library of awesome things.Īctually, these scans have nothing to do with Christmas. If you're enjoying the scans that sometimes go up on the blog, we do it regularly over on he HG101 forum. The pages that follow the covers belong to that issue. How times change! One of the articles here has nothing to do with games, but is an interview with the BBFC, and goes in depth regarding UK censorship laws, and is quite interesting! The BBFC rates, or used to rate, quite a lot of games, and I've always thought was an excellent system, since it covers America's AO rating under our '18' age rating (Restricted 18 is really only for hardcore pornography).

Oh, and the Cyber Drome page may rekindle some memories of the internet back when it first started. Still, one of the games they covered might feature in an HG101 article, so I thought it worth scanning everything. If you wanted Japanese gaming coverage you were probably better off buying Super Play. Actually, these scans have nothing to do with Christmas.
