I just came across these brilliant scans from Games X Magazine on my computer!

Cool, I will be reading this a bit later.

Nice, I used to love articles like that.

Magazines were much more fun to read back then.

TL

Yeah I loved Games X, I would love to pick a load up at some point.

There are a few big mistakes in the tech specs box though such as the number of colours for the PC GT and the CPU of the Game Boy. What really made me laugh though was them saying the Game Gear had a quality screen  :21:

Great article! Really cool to see the comparison chart, even if there are errors in it.

Yeah, there were a lot more mistakes back then, but magazines were just more fun. Guess it was a little harder fact checking back then.

I would love a set of games X mags compatible with CDdisplay.

TL

Very true! There was no Google back then!

And yes, that would be awesome!  :8:

Are these available as PDF anywhere?  I wouldn't mind reading them on my tablet.

Sadly not  :20:

they have a few RAZE magazines to download from the early 90's that have a fair few Atasri ST and Lynx reviews.

RAZE covered the 7800 too, it was a great magazine - shame it never lasted longer. I posted up all the 7800 and Lynx reviews in the relevant threads here actually.

That reminds me, I still have some more Zero reviews to post.

Just finished reading this.  Pretty nicely written, despite the errors in the tech stuff.  They do recognize the GameBoy fell short compared to the Lynx, Game Gear and the PC Engine GT, though.
