Sega Zone was a Sega orientated publication from Dennis Publishing in the early 1990s. Sega Zone had split off from the former multiformat console title Game Zone, which continued as a Nintendo magazine. Early Dennis Publishing staff members included launch editor Amaya Lopez, deputy editor Vivienne Nagy, and staff writer Martin Pond.
