First Nintendo Power issue

I thought I'd post this up because it's just pretty cool: http://www.eoinstanley.com/nintendo/nintendo_power_issue1.pdf

So this was actually published a couple of months before I was born which is weird. It's super interesting to look through.

Thanks for the link. The news of Nintendo Power closing reminded me of this thread.

I still have it in a box in an attic somewhere. I remember mailing in a free subscription to the Nintendo Newsletter and I got the first issue of Nintendo Power shortly after getting the final issue of the Newsletter.

Ohhhh I wanna win that Nintendo Power jersey!!!

This brings back amazing memories. Before I owned a Nintendo and Nintendo Power came out I would borrow my friends' issues of the Nintendo Fun Club News and draw my own issues highlighting games that either never existed or real titles I've never played. I did that for months as a way to cope with my impatience for getting a NES. That stopped once I got a subscription to Nintendo Power and I beat my uncle in basketball to "win" a NES. I love childhood memories.
