The Official Sega Club UK
I’ve been looking through old threads and can’t seem to find anything on here about The Official Sega Club UK magazine so I thought I’d start one on it
The Official Sega Club was a British club and newsletter offered in the late 1980s primarily covering the Sega Master System. Along with the latest Sega news and reviews, members would receive many exclusive items such as t shirts, sweaters, badges, posters etc and could enter competitions to win top prizes. It was released quarterly for 4 issues before becoming a monthly feature in ‘S: The Sega Magazine’ which ran for 12 issues before being rebranded as ‘Sega Power’.
The Club section ended in the early issues of Sega Power after Virgin, the official Sega distributor in the UK disbanded it and never renewed it. There were only 200 Official Sega Club UK members nationwide at the time.
Tony Takoushi was the editor of the magazine and would travel up and down the country meeting Sega fans to give out prizes and have competitions.
Over the years I’ve collected all 4 issues, a lot of the mail order items and even a few competition prizes. Most of these were purchased directly from Tony himself.
