Vintage gaming periodical Forgotten Worlds has opened orders for its ninth issue, which specifically focuses on the history of the TurboGrafx-16, commonly known on the international stage as the PC Engine.
The 100-page issue looks back at NEC's hyper-niche console, revisiting the hardware as well as its library of games, consisting of recognisable releases and more niche, Japan-only titles. Forgotten Worlds casts an eye over the box art and marketing materials of the platform, as well as the magazines and media that proudly flew the flag for the TurboGrafx-16 on its 1989 U.S. release.
In addition, the magazine includes an interview with John Podlasek, who served as NEC USA's marketing and development manager, as well as coder Hiromasa Iwasaki, who worked on numerous PC Engine releases - including the Ys games and the recently released TurboGrafx-16 Mini "retro console".
The full-colour magazine features over 100 pages of tribute to one of gaming's more underseen, underplayed, and undersold cult consoles.
Forgotten Worlds #9 is available to order now from the official website, priced at $18 / €16. Each purchase comes with two art postcards. Move fast, as this particular issue is strictly limited to 300 copies.
