The UK version of the '''''Sega Magazine''''' was a monthly magazine devoted to the many [[Sega]] consoles of the early 1990s, including the [[Sega Master System]], [[Sega Mega Drive]] (plus [[Sega Mega CD]] and [[Sega 32X]] accessories), [[Sega Game Gear]] and eventually [[Sega Saturn]]. What would make this magazine stand out was the official license from Sega, giving the magazine access to information quicker than its rivals.

What would make this magazine stand out was the official license from Sega, giving the magazine access to information quicker than its rivals.
  
Unfortunately one of its rivals was EMAP's own ''[[Mean Machines Sega]]'', and by the end of 1995 both magazines were merged to form the official [[Sega Saturn Magazine]].

At the end of 1995 the magazine was rebranded as the official ''[[Sega Saturn Magazine]]''.
