Sega Pro was the first publication fromParagon Publishing and catered for theSega consoles: theMaster System,Game Gear and theMega Drive. Early editorial staff included Dominic Handy (editor), Les Ellis (games editor),Dave Perry (designer), James Scullion and Damian Butt as staff writers. The magazine existed between 1991 and 1996.[1] A German edition ofSega Pro was also published (1992-1994).
During the end of 1994, Paragon Publishing launched a CD version of the magazine, to be released alongside the normal version, simply titleSega Pro CD. Published separately fromSega Pro, starting in October 1994 with issue 1 through to issue 3. From January 1995 Paragon started releasing both magazine editions with the same issue number sequence carried on from the originalSega Pro (issue 40). Versions with and without the cover CD were available, with a price difference, and those who bought the wrong one could send away their request to get the demo sent to them.
Due to saturation of the console magazine market, among other issues, readership declined from 64,003 in 1993 to just over 30,000 in 1994.[2] By the end of 1995, the magazine content had shifted, inevitably, towardsSega'sSaturn games andMaster System,Mega Drive andGame Gear content all quietly disappeared.
