Little is known about Future's early Sega incarnation other than it covered the Master System console and the page count was quite small compared to later issues of Sega Power.

Launched in readiness for the forecast boom in video games consoles. After surviving on low sales for over a year and thanks to rising megadrive/Sonic The Hedgehog sales, the magazine circulation more than doubled during the end of 1991. The magazine enjoyed many successful years as one the biggest selling Sega titles, covering consoles such as the Mega Drive, Master System, Game Gear, Mega CD, Sega 32X and the Saturn. In the summer of 1997, after 91 issues - just shy of the elusive century, the magazine was relaunched and renamed.

With both the Mega Drive and Master System fading away by 1997, the magazine was relaunched with its new name; Saturn Power. Issue 1 was launched, cover dated July 1997 and came with a cover mounted demo disc. However, the magazine only lasted 10 issues before being pulled in April 1998.
