Hello everyone.
I have currently some spare time so thought I would dig through italian magazines scans for SC-3000 materials.

Starting with the magazine Videogiochi
( http://www.dizionariovideogiochi.it/doku.php?id=videogiochi_rivista
https://archive.org/details/videogiochi?sort=titleSorter )

I didn't find anything relevant in the 1983 issues.

Issue 11 from january 1984 is where it begins to be interesting with an advertising for the SC-3000 launch.

Second issue talking about the sc-3000 is from June 1984 (n°16)

Only a small text indicating that the italian sega distributor (melchioni) has given some more informations.

Also added an advertisement for sega/melchioni distributed games for the atari 2600

Issue 24 has two classified ads for sc-3000
Interesting as one of the two sells the tape recorder with it.

Also, first issue recording best scores from readers for sc-3000 games.
