Ah the weeks when Nintendo Power was set to arrive are some of my favorite game memories. I'd get the magazine, flip through it for a few days. Then I'd get into the nitty gritty and read every word front to back. Then it was back to waiting. My parents weren't super great when it came it providing me with basic things like clothes, shoes, or a positive environment growing up. Being poor, Nintendo Power was basically my birthday present every year. Now I'm no fool, I'll take the thing that lasts for 12 months and let that gift keep giving. :D
I still have years and years of them in a box. I thought about getting rid of them on Ebay but I just couldn't pull the trigger.
One thing I wish I would have understood better is the reason for ads. It never occurred to me that they were essential and I always found them to be a nuisance because dumb kid brain. That said, Sony during the PSone era had some great magazine ads as I recall.
