Forgotten Worlds Fanzine Issue 6 Celebrates Classic Sega Magazines with Exclusive Industry Interviews

Forgotten Worlds Fanzine Issue 6: A Deep Dive into the Legacy of Sega Magazines The influential fanzine 'Forgotten Worlds,' dedicated to chronicling the rich history of video game magazines, has released its highly anticipated sixth issue.

Particularly catering to devoted Sega fans and retro gaming enthusiasts, this latest edition brings together some of the most respected voices from the golden age of gaming journalism.

Under the editorial guidance of Mikolai Napieralski, who is also a contributor to Time Extension, Forgotten Worlds Issue 6 delivers rare, in-depth interviews with several legendary figures from the industry.

Among those featured are Steve Merrett (Mean Machines Sega), Paul Glancey (CVG, MegaTech), Brian "Since Spacies" Costelloe (MegaZone), Dean Mortlock (Sega Power), and Gary Cutlack (UK: Resistance, Official Sega Saturn Magazine).

The issue also includes insights from Al Nilsen, Sega of America’s former marketing director, whose campaigns were instrumental in establishing the Sega Genesis (known as the Mega Drive outside North America) as a household name during the early 1990s. This edition of Forgotten Worlds pays homage not just to iconic hardware like the Mega Drive/Genesis, but also to the publications that captured the imaginations of a generation.

The interviews meticulously curated by Napieralski offer vivid recollections of the UK’s vibrant gaming press scene and the unique energy that Sega’s consoles brought to European markets.

Dean Mortlock, reflecting on his time with Sega Power, discussed the camaraderie and competitive spirit that defined the era.

Meanwhile, Gary Cutlack addressed the challenges and excitement of producing content for the Official Sega Saturn Magazine, highlighting the innovation required to inform and entertain a rapidly expanding audience. While the focus of Issue 6 is undeniably UK-centric, this reflects both Sega’s extraordinary popularity throughout Europe and the massive proliferation of region-specific gaming magazines.

The publication doesn’t shy away from this angle, instead using it to authentically showcase what made that scene so distinctive. Additional features in the sixth issue include a thoughtfully curated collection of vintage Sega advertisements.

Readers can also look forward to a limited edition insert designed by DvlsBlsh.com, which uniquely fits behind the fanzine’s front cover to complete a classic 'Sega blue sky' motif—a subtle nod to the aesthetics of Sega’s greatest hits. Forgotten Worlds continues to solidify its position as an essential archive for gaming history, providing meticulously researched content and firsthand accounts from the pioneers of the industry.

For anyone interested in securing a copy and diving into the rich legacy of Sega’s influence on print media, Issue 6 offers a must-have snapshot of a transformative era in gaming culture.
