Here are the only screenshots I know of for Vic Tokai's "Shogun Maeda" on the NES. This game was announced for the U.S. and Japan, but never came out anywhere, and is considered lost. Secret Ties is also unreleased, but a prototype was found and preserved in 2003!pic.twitter.com/Ytd6DjmHJM
Another lost game: Joe vs. The Wall by Ocean for the SNES. It's amazing how games can completely disappear: these photographs are the only visual documentation that this game ever existed.pic.twitter.com/fjLHVl4nrF
Here's something I've never seen before: a very, very early issue of Game Informer that's still sealed in its polybag! These were the official magazine of Funcoland, so it makes sense that issues came bundled with the current catalog and price list. (cc @GI_AndyMc)pic.twitter.com/3BwTFkvttc
Our library is in really good shape for 1990s console magazines, but PC game magazines are much, much harder to find. Computer Gaming World here is probably the most common, but also the most pricey due to its fan following, so we only have a handful.pic.twitter.com/4LU842FLzl
(Sidenote: When I worked at 1UP I donated the entire CGW back issue archive to @museumofplay, go visit them sometime!)
In the world of PC game magazines, CGW and PC Gamer are fairly easy to find, but the rest are universally tough. This is Sendai's Computer Game Review, an offshoot of Electronic Gaming Monthly.pic.twitter.com/4kvJuJ8CIs
Even tougher is PC Games, which spun out of MacWorld/PC World (and might be vaguely considered a GamePro sister publication, but IDG publishing confuses me so don't quote me on that). If you were a subscriber and held on to these, please get in touch.pic.twitter.com/943lPQx53c
Another publication we've had trouble with is the Game Player's PC game spin-offs, which ran under a few titles over the years, starting with the awkward "Game Player's Strategy Guide to MS-DOS Computer Games." Unfortunately this one isn't new for us, it's a double.pic.twitter.com/3lnBVVQK2N
Speaking of Sendai spin-offs, here are two issues from its Sega Genesis and SNES-specific magazines. A lot of this content is recycled from EGM, but there's original work too. We've got decent sets of these, but are missing many of the later issues.pic.twitter.com/Qgasdti91q
As an aside: This pile of magazines was actually an exciting one to find on eBay, as it had a lot of these obscure titles. Judging by the address label, I think the recipient was in the industry in some way, which is often the case when we find some of these.
InterAction was Sierra's own in-house magazine. Sierra was such a PC games titan that it could fill sizable mags by only covering its own product.
Speaking of Daryl Gates on the top cover, this @waypoint article is highly recommended: https://waypoint.vice.com/en_us/article/a3n8ea/how-sierra-and-a-disgraced-cop-made-the-most-reactionary-game-of-the-90s …pic.twitter.com/shmI6FUUv8
And finally, a very late (possibly next-to-last?) issue of NewType Gaming. We've had a lot of trouble getting any of these, so this was a good score.pic.twitter.com/ElOCuQlwlB
It featured a very glowing review of Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, meaning that it was a publication with exquisite taste.pic.twitter.com/r92wSDg2qh
