That’s a magazine of the radio program “伊集院光の怪電波発信基地” from July 6th 1996.
If you want to listen the radio broadcast, You can find it in the kukun kun channel : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2vHm2saDM4

(Some additional notes by Cabbusses:
Kaidenpa Hassin Kichi is a radio program featuring Famitsu’s Hikaru Ijuin.

Going by the NicoNico side of preserving things, this particular program was pretty popular for a Satellaview radio show. Many of the episodes have been available there with clean audio, making it one of the more well-preserved ones.

It seems in particular the segment “Dragon West IX” is popular. While I don’t know the specifics of the contents, the artwork and logo clearly suggest a Dragon Quest parody. Graphics from RPG Tsukuru 2 are also used, although there is no sign that any actual RPG Tsukuru 2 campaign was distributed based on this segment.

Another segment in this episode is a parody of “Gakkou de Atta Kowai Hanashi”, a horror visual novel on the Super Famicom released by Banpresto in 1995. While a recent release at the time, this game did spawn a franchise with several entries, which suggests it was popular enough to be the subject of parody.)

Thanks to sanmaiwashi for having dumped the 3 first ROMs.

That dump is a trial version of Parlor! Mini 4. You can only play one model (precisely the CR大工の源さん(三洋)one) and there is a time limit.

(Additional notes by Cabbusses:
Parlor Mini 4 has many visual and gameplay similarities to “Let’s Pachinko Nate Gintama” and “BS Parlor! Parlor!”, but has an all-new machine to work with.

Amusingly enough, the machine is actually based on the Hammerin’ Harry series of games.)

I include here the broadcasts list :

1996/11/17~1996/12/07(1 time per day)

This has been dumped by an anonymous benefactor.

Now the most interesting stuff :

This memory pack contains a variant of Kirby’s Toy Box – Ball Rally (the gameplay seems identical but 15% of the data including the internal name are kinda different) and the very last version of WaiWai Check which had been distributed (precisely the 1996-3-28 one).

When you play the Event mode, when you get “Push ??” in Waiwai Check, LuigiBlood found the inputs that you should use :

Round 1: A+X+Down
Round 2: A+B+Up
Round 3: A+Y+Right
Round 4: A+L+Left

This has been also dumped by an anonymous benefactor.
