Dengeki PC Engine
Near the end of 1992, a few employees from Kadokawa Shoten left the company, and gave birth to MediaWorks (now ASCII MediaWorks), a new publishing company, and since a key member of the Marukatsu PC-Engine team joined in, a new PC-Engine magazine called Dengeki PC Engine (電撃PCエンジン, Dengeki PC Enjin?) ended up being one of their first publications.
The first issue, "February 1993", came out in December 1992, using the classic "Saddle-Stapling" binding technique, later on switched to perfect binding.
In its later days, Dengeki PC-Engine was turning its attention more and more to bishōjo games (made popular on Nec's machine by several titles, including Nec Avenue's Sotsugyō: Graduation, and Konami's Tokimeki Memorial) and less to Nec's game consoles in general, something that, together with Nec's fading popularity in the computer entertainment market, led the publishers to change its name to Dengeki G's Engine starting from June 1996, now covering bishōjo games for all platforms and no longer focused on Nec's machines.
A few additional name changes happened afterwards, first the "Engine" moniker was dropped in June 1997 (the new title being "Dengeki G's Magajiin") and finally in 2002, the Japanese transliterated word "Magajiin" マガジン (Ｍａｇａｊｉｉｎ from the englisｈ "Magazine"?) was changed to "Magazine". Dengeki G's Magazine is still published today.

Famous quotes containing the word engine:
“Industrial man—a sentient reciprocating engine having a fluctuating output, coupled to an iron wheel revolving with uniform velocity. And then we wonder why this should be the golden age of revolution and mental derangement.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
