The first issue of PC Engine Fan was published in late 1988. The magazine originated as a section in Family Computer Magazine, but was eventually spun out into its own publication. The magazine had two sister titles – MSX Fan and Mega Drive Fan.[1]
Artwork and covers for the magazine were often drawn by artist Akemi Takada.[2] From 1993 onwards, the covers usually featured the magazine's mascot, Mana.[1]
PC Engine Fan was the last magazine to focus exclusively on NEC consoles.[3] It shut down in 1996, but two specials named Super PC Engine Fan Deluxe were published in 1997.[4][5]

Throughout its history, PC Engine Fan produced a number of discs, which could be played on a PC Engine with the CD-ROM² addon. The first disc is notable for including two homebrew games, which were not sold at retail. These games, developed with the Develo kit, are Frisbee Ken John – a one-button game about a dog catching a Frisbee, and Maru-Maru which was a simple Breakout clone.[6]
