Mega Play was a relatively short-lived magazine dedicated to the Sega video games. Mostly the Genesis but also the Game Gear and Master System. It started life as an insert in Electronic Gaming Monthly and was fairly short at about 32 pages for a typical issue as I recall. The first issue from November 1990 includes:
