Is there anywhere online that archives the old NES days of Nintendo Power? Or, is there anyplace I can get my hands on them? My search has only produced an archive of Howard & Nester and an interview with one of the writers from the ancient days of the mag.

Another mag I am searching for is the even more ancient Nintendo Fun Club. But that is insanity.

I have practically every NP to date. Any specific issue that you are looking for? If I'm bored, I could scan some sections or whatever.

Gosh, there are so many, I can't remember the issue of the one I want right now. It had the game Totally RAD and some game about a guy who threw metal boomerangs in it. It had a midieval game on the front about some Knight. Right now I want to know what that game on the front was. Still 100% NES at this point.

Some kid gave this to me. It is a review, and guide for the first 90 games that came on NES.

That book was so good in fact, that they were still were selling new copies into the mid 90's. A fantasmical book that has everything you want, except for what I am looking for.

I got that in 1986. :(

Do you think the game might be Wizards and Warriors?

The game on the cover with the guy throwing boomerangs was Power Blade, and the one with the knight was Sword Master. I have yet to find a rom for either. :(

Sword Master, damn I want to find that game. Power blade looked cool, but I never played it.
So you coulden't even find a rom of either... well, thanks for the info anyway Pern.

Dammit, people, is the french site really that difficult to navigate, or are you all against supporting the french because of the Iraq shebazz?
