My own cherished collection of the complete original run of SUPER PLAY Magazine.

These are highly sought after and would probably be worth more selling as individual issues, but I would prefer to keep them as a complete set for a serious collector who appreciates their value.

Used collection in good overall condition (these were my gaming bible back in the day, so each one is well read). Been neatly stored in a taped up box in a dry wardrobe since the 1990's! Minor wear and tear to be expected from age (I have tried to highlight any obvious damage in pics, like spines, or some water damage in corner pages of issue 36 for example).

All 47 issues from the original production run, plus the one off special "SUPER PLAY GOLD".

Please see the pictures for the quality and condition of the items. Assume that none of the original "freebies" are included unless pictured (posters, postcards, badges etc).

Please check out my other listings for a couple of random Super Play issues that I have duplicates of for some reason and also the successor to Super Play... N64 Magazine bundle, also from Future Publishing and with a lot of the same team working on it.

Genuinely gutted to see these go, but not got the time or the space to appreciate them anymore, so hopefully they'll bring joy to someone else out there!

Postage is set to maximum allowed by eBay in this category, which is £11.50, which may well be a loss my end as this is a heavy lot! May require multiple packages.

From Wikipedia: Super Play was a British Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) magazine which ran from 1 October 1992 to September 1996.

Super Play covered in great detail the role-playing video game genre. Many of these games were never released officially in the UK or European games market, 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 console RPGs and animation, the magazine also heavily featured information about manga and anime by noted UK-based writer Helen McCarthy.

It can be said that Super Play was one of the magazines that helped to 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-influenced style by artist Wil Overton. Overton also caricatured many of the staff in chibi form, wearing various types of anime-related costumes - sci-fi armour, flying gear, RPG-style armour etc.

The cover even had the name "Super Play" written in katakana. The logo for the magazine was designed by Jez Bridgeman in his first week on the magazine before the Art Editor arrived in the September before launch and at the last minute the 'PLAY' part of the logo was switched for a sans serif font and then stretched to fit the space.

The magazine was published monthly, and would regularly feature a monthly Fantasy Quest column about Japanese console RPGs in their native market. In the second half of the publication's life, there was a monthly Final Fantasy Forum dedicated to playing tips and secrets for Square games, even despite the fact that none of the Final Fantasy game series had been released in Europe at that point.

Some of the most recognisable names on the Super Play writing staff were Matt Bielby, Tony Mott (former editor of Future Publishing stablemate Edge), Jason Brookes, Jonathan Davies and Zy Nicholson.

The magazine was based in Bath, England and published by Future Publishing.

Despite its fairly short run (47 issues, just short of 4 years, and a one-off "Gold" special in 1993), and many years since its demise, it still enjoys a fan following on the internet.

Its end came with the declining popularity of the SNES itself, both among games publishers and the game-buying public, as the Nintendo 64 was on the cusp of release, making way for the next generation of video game consoles.

Super Play was succeeded in March 1997 by N64 Magazine, which was initially edited by Jonathan Davies with Wil Overton as Art Editor, and frequent contributions by former Super Play writers, although the magazine was much less focused on import gaming and RPGs than its forebear. N64 Magazine in turn was renamed NGC Magazine to coincide with the launch of the Game Cube, and after closure of NGC in 2006 the publication was relaunched as NGamer.
