The Doomsday Book of video games!
FROM THE OWNER: "Hi there, I was just rummaging through my wardrobe and I found this mint condition 1991/1992 official Sonic yearbook. In the middle of the book there is a 'fun' game to guess the random has stars of the time. In one we have Manchester United star Brian McClair and two is Brian's team-mate Paul Parker. In six is TV star Julian Clary. And finally, 11 is Michael Jackson with Sega's UK champion, who I think looks a bit like Brian McClair."
Well, we'd stand a better chance if you'd done a better job of taking the photo.
The internet would've had a field day with this, had the internet existed in a mainstream format in 1991/1992.
This second batch of photos came from the angry people at Stupid Fucking Customers.
Andy Crane would appear to think the Game Gear is a telephone. If only! Perhaps then it would've stood a chance. It also might've needed an extra eight batteries.
Again, the photos are not really of a high enough quality to reflect the majesty of the annual. We are currently scouring eBay for a decent one to photograph at the highest possible resolution under the lighting conditions it deserves.
You can just about read it. Best not to though.
Wow. In 1991/1992, we would've gone MENTAL WITH EXCITEMENT at the thought of winning a SEGA Mega CD.
Andi Peters is so rubbish he needs to be told which one he's controlling! No, Andi, you are not the rocks or the sea, you are the dolphin.
This is where it all went wrong for SEGA. You can't remove the headphone socket. Listening to the Starlight Zone theme in stereo while playing in the dark is the Mega Drive's greatest defining moment.
If you have a copy of the 1991/1992 Sonic The Hedgehog Yearbook AND a decent camera AND a sense of perspective AND the ability to hold a camera still, please send in more pics. Maybe one day we can recreate the entire book page by page for future generations.
A site about games and game paraphernalia and how nothing's as good as we remember it, probably because we used to inhabit a FANTASY WORLD.

It came with the template. Maybe in 2014 we'll jump on board the Twitter train and put that in here. Or a radio. That'd be nice.
Looks like I'm one of the first to comment. I haven't been sat at my PC pressing F5 ever since I sent the email... Honest!

It's not like I have anything better to do.
Yeah we'll send in some 60 billion by 40 billion resolution shots of the whole book on Saturday, to clog up your inbox Zorg.
We'll also send some pictures of the parts where the book is starting to rip, and where I wrote the '19, 65, 9, 17, and then push C', Sonic 2 level select cheat on the back.
I think both are published by the same company.
Cough *Ahem*
I also have every issue of Sonic the Comic before they started repeating the storyline. They were all up on a website I bookmarked not so long ago, but that's down now. If you're interested though, here are all the covers.

Now I have a thing to do this evening.
Sega FTW.
By sadly I mean it's sad that I would prefer to read this annual 42 times 'back to back*'than play hide the sausage prison rules version.
That's just the way I roll
*Sonic reference. Negative gay points for whoever gets it.
If only those 2 can make a massive comeback.
Anyone for Moonwalker 2 ??
Every single UK comic. I emailed Zorg about this but I think I'd already alienated him with links to horrible Sonic porn. There's a password to this on Bugmenot.
Check out the Streets of Rage strip! It's absolutely wank!
If you nosey around there are more amazingly shit comics on there, including the American ones from Archie and the online comic some saddos do:

I remember entering that competition too, you had to give the correct name for certain badniks. Never won though. Bastards.
At least they should be decent quality though, hopefully.
Was that an american version? Mine's uk.
