Product Description

[The trajectory of the Sega Hard magazine that just kept chasing Sega Hard--! ]
In 1989, it was first published as Japan's first Sega Hard magazine [BEEP! Mega drive].
The genealogy continued with [Sega Saturn Magazine] and [Dreamcast Magazine], and ran through the times with Sega Hard.
In recent years, with the 25th anniversary of Sega Saturn, the 30th anniversary of Mega Drive, the 20th anniversary of Dreamcast, and the 60th anniversary of Sega, various anniversary years have continued, and the assets of successive Sega Hard magazines have been reunited.
Compile a commemorative book suitable for celebrating a milestone year.

[A true memorial book, not just a reprint]
[BEEP! There are a total of 300 Sega Hard magazines starting with [Mega Drive], with a total of more than 50,000 pages.
The amount of information is too large to be published as a so-called [reprint], which is a publication of past magazines as they are.
Even if you edit a reprint with a long number of pages, only about 1 to 2% of the total can be posted.
The probability of reuniting with the [memorial magazine] that each individual wants to read is extremely low.
Therefore, in this book, [BEEP! In order to reproduce the [spirit] of the Sega Hard magazine since [Mega Drive], we aimed for a memorial content that goes beyond just reprinting.
Specifically, [participation of real staff who worked on the magazine at that time] and [reorganization of huge amount of information].

In addition, in the above-mentioned 50,000 pages of information, various events that have occurred in and around Sega Hard are recorded.
By systematically reorganizing necessary information from past magazines, information with historical material value can be extracted and made available for reference.
