Genki's love of all things import (and burgeoning Super Famicom section) no doubt stems from a fantastic publication that was Super Play. A browse through the magazines brings back floods of nostalgia and they certainly weren't in Nintendo's pocket covering a fine array of Japanese, import-only titles. Nor did they indulge in the 16Bit wars demonstrating a love of gaming for what it is and focusing on the core value of gameplay. Such honesty in reviewing was like a breath of fresh air and much needed in the days when publishers and journalists seemed a little too close (and not just at the publicity launch party.) In the picture we can see an arrange of the coin-ops covered in the article "Live from Hell City" (though it sure looks like heaven too us...) Popcorn dispensed by Yoshi, cuddly Chun Li plushes on the UFO Catcher, a Sailor Moon balloon dispenser, a tasty set of Fatal Fury cards and a tidy mole bashing game themed to Street Fighter including old Balrog popping up (though surely true street fighters would refuse the boxing glove, like those who enjoy the Sonic Blastman punch balls in kebab shops. But don't get me started on those...)
