Mega Power was launched to compliment Paragon Publishing's first successful publication, Sega Pro. Dave Perry, along with a small editorial team, helped the magazine become the first console publication to include a cover CD. Issue 4 included the first ever cover mounted demo playable on a Sega console, that being Thunderhawk. Various other game demo CDs were released through 1993 and 1994 and they became a regular feature after May 1994.
