Nintendo Power, September/October 1988

Nintendo Power was never a favorite magazine of mine. I always preferred multiformat video game magazines as opposed to ones dedicated to a particular console. There is no doubt that Nintendo’s official publication was immensely popular and useful for NES owners in the early years.

Issue number 2 of Nintendo Power from September/October 1988 includes:
