Mega Power

Mega Power was launched following the success of Paragon Publishing's first publication, Sega Pro. Dave Perry along with a small editorial team helped the magazine become the first console publication to include a cover CD. The magazine was in circulation between August 1993 and July 1995.^[1]

Cover mounted CDs

Issue 4, November 1993, included the first ever cover mounted demo playable on a Sega console, that being Thunderhawk. Game demo insert covers were provided, through the magazine, to use with the CD and an empty case.

Soulstar
