I remember reading this article back in the day.  Thanks for the scans.

I wish I could get the other page of the article from TGM April 1990, looks like there was a mail-in flyer over it when it got scanned.

That flying control pad is huge !! wow

[SGX Engine]

Not being from the UK, these are great for me to see for the first time.

Great stuff!! I love how they were calling it "The Engine"
(I actually hate it)

[SGX Engine]

I have more for you all!

I remember seeing the SGX on a news report on TV in the early 90’s in the UK (newsround, before Neighbours?). It was a feature about a young lad who was ill and undergoing chemotherapy and they went to his home to film his everyday life, and in one scene he was playing After Burner II on his SGX. Weird that I remember that...

Awesome, I love all this stuff... especially the dude raving about the GIANT BOULDER! Ha! I know it is a big object (it is), but it's just a damn BIG BROWN BOULDER (BBB) and isn't nearly as exciting as the character sprites in China Warrior/The Kung Fu. That said, this IS an ARCADE KUNG FU game...



More importantly, I love the photo of the cute woman/man wearing Z Cavariccis and proudly holding the PCE... we need more...

...and although the soundtrack to OutRun truly kicks ass, the music in Victory Run is pretty good, too (but I wouldn't say that Victory Run tunes > OutRun tunes like the author of the article!)

...anyway, lots of fun reading that! It has a BILLION times more personality/enthusiasm than most articles...



OH YEAH, BEFORE I FORGET:

10 games were out for PCE (damn!) with Namco soon to release a bunch... wow, that's crazy...

...such humble roots...

...30 year anniversary, indeed!

It's really time consuming looking for PCEngine articles in all these UK magazines, but Retro CDN and Google's internet archive are valuable resources.  I continue to search for more, perhaps others could help out as well!

Edit: from ZZap!64 issue 48 - April 1989.



and May 1989.
