Cover Mounted Books
As a variation on the free tips booklet often issued by computer games magazines, Sega Power released a string of novellas based on popular computer games. Titles in this range included: Golden Axe, Road Rash, Super Monaco GP and Desert Strike. These titles were written by members of the Sega Power team and combined a fictional narrative, hung loosely around the linear plot of the game, with cheats, codes and hints for gamers.
As a result of the popularity of these stories, rival title Sega Force followed suit and released a spin off of Super Smash TV, which bore striking similarities to Stephen King's 'The Running Man'.

—Nunnally Johnson (1897–1977)
“Just because you live in LA it doesn’t mean you have to dress that way.”
