Before there
was Nintendo Power, there was the Nintendo Fun Club back in late 1987
through early 1988. It was a spiffy little newsletter that contained tips
from the "pros", coupons, puzzles, sneak peeks, high score lists, and of
course the latest game reviews. It didn't look all too impressive at
first, but by issue #3, they had nice full-color covers.
Lookin' sharp there fellas!
Now the
Nintendo Fun Club was really starting to shape up. Nice covers, more
in-depth reviews, and even interviews with stars like Mike Tyson! Good ol'
Mike even gave us some good advice that he himself has always lived
by: "Never become angry - it will inhibit your ability." -Mike Tyson
Ok, well maybe the advice was hard to swallow coming from a criminally
insane man with a taste for human ears, but at least they made up for it with great jokes, right?
*sigh*
Hrm, I
suppose not. Well, it may have not been stuffed with good advice or good
jokes, but at least we could always count on it for being...
FUN!
FUN!FUN!
FUN!
FUN!FUN!
FUN!
With a guy
like "Howard Phillips" running the show, it was obviously gonna be fun.
Obviously...
