I used to eagerly await the mail each month for each brand spanking new monthly issue
of Nintendo Power magazine.....staring firstly into the cool looking cover that graces
the front of each issue. Then slowly working my way page by page through the issue,
soaking up all the info my little mind could comprehend, eventually frantically looking for the "cheats/classified info" section.
I didn't mind much the reviews, as in that young age, I couldn't really understand what the gaming reviews
or scores meant. How I bought NES/SNES/N64 games, I did so based on the brand/title.
So like when a game like TMNT IV: Turtles in Time came out for the SNES, I quickly bought that because
I was (and still am) a huge TMNT fan. The same can be said when the game Goof Troop came out, despite what
I read in Nintendo Power about it, I still bought it, and it was actually fun. The same cannot be said about Home Alone,
that I wish I read the reviews of prior to begging my dad/mom to purchase it for me.

and online zines, will truly miss you. The issues of Nintendo Power will surely become collectors items.
