Super Sunclub (December 1990 - August 1994)

Issue 5 of "new Sunclub" announced that Sunclub was once again changing formats and asked readers about what changes they thought should be made. The result of that survey was Super Sunclub (スーパーサンクラブ), which began publication in December 1990. The first few issues of Super Sunclub were a genuine improvement. They didn't have the personality, the fan interaction, the page count, or the bimonthly schedule of classic Sunclub but they did at least contain some neat original art. However, as time went on this largely went away and Super Sunclub went back to essentially being a promotional brochure. The last issue of Super Sunclub went out in August 1994. Sunsoft did put out another publication called Sunsoft Park (さんそふとぱ~く) starting in 1995 but that was more of a flyer than anything.

I don't have a copy of this issue, but according to Tad's page there's nothing inside indicating that it's the final issue. Sunclub went out not with a bang, but with a whimper.
