23/05/2008
By s_famicom

E siamo a tre! Ancora una volta qui per mostrarvi un numero della fantastica rivista Beep! durante l'era Mega Drive (la stessa rivista si è occupata nei vari anni anche delle altre console Sega). Anche in questo numero di novembre molto il materiale da guardare.
And here comes the third! Here we are again to show you an issue of fantastic magazine Beep!, directly from Mega Drive age (the same mag covered through the years also other Sega's consoles). In this issue again much material to watch.

Siccome questo speciale è stato creato per essere online all'apertura del VGH 2008, la forma è un pochino meno ordinata e forse c'è qualche errore. Se notate qualcosa di strano fatemelo sapere via mail. ^_^
This special was created to be online along with the VGH 2008 opening day, so maybe you may find some glitches and errors here and there, let me know by mail if you find something. ^_^
