Edge 20th anniversary (Shenmue) cover

Postby redline » Mon Sep 02, 2013 12:53 pm

For Edge’s 20th anniversary edition, on sale August 29, we have produced 20 unique covers designed to celebrate the defining titles of each year that has passed since Edge’s launch in August 1993.

Some of the 20th anniversary covers have been designed by illustrators whose work has appeared in Edge before, and some are the creations of contributors new to our pages, including a selection of artists from videogame studios across the globe.

The Shenmue cover looks really rather nice and stylish. I think it's the best one of the covers even though Shenhua's mouth looks a little bit weird. Wish they had a Sonic 3 & Knuckles inspired cover for 1994 instead of that lame Ridge Racer one though.

Yep, pretty much known as the "serious, credible" gaming magazine.

Good to see the Mue (not me) get a cover, especially as they only did 20 variants. I remember they did a (more boring) Shenmue cover for the 200th issue, but they did 200 different covers for that issue.

I wonder how many are conned into buying the same magazine twice, not because they want to collect the range of covers but because they see a different one a week or two later and assume it's a new issue - until they get it home.
