UK-based SNES magazine that was wonderful.
Super Play was notable for a number of reasons. Firstly, it covered in great detail the computer role playing games genre. Many of these games were never released officially in the UK, and therefore the magazine concentrated much effort in covering aspects of the American, and moreover the Japanese games markets.
It also featured in-depth, intelligent and passionate coverage of all aspects of gaming. Given the close ties between the world of Japanese RPGs and animation, the magazine also heavily featured information about manga and anime. It can be said that Super Play helped push forward what was at the time a nascent market for anime in the UK. In this vein, the magazine itself was also notable as its cover illustrations (and many illustrations between the covers) were done in manga style by artist Wil Overton. The cover even had the name “Super Play” written in katakana.
