Just dropping by to say how much Nintendo Power meant to me as a youngster. I received my first issue in 1989 (Mega Man 2) and from then on, I was hooked. I have clear memories of receiving the following Tetris and Batman issues (brought the latter to school after lunch and was so distracted in class just by thinking about it - I was 12 at the time), as well as the Rescue Rangers (or was it Super C?) issue that previewed Castlevania III. I couldn't wait for that game. Rented it (along with Rollergames) one long weekend and finally got it for Christmas 1990. (In the Dr. Mario issue, I think they had a 30+ pages extravaganza (+ full map) for Dracula's Curse, it was amazing!).
I still have all my magazines and went on a major buying spree for back issues in the last couple of weeks. I'm echoing the others who said a part of their childhood is gone now... That being said, that last Nester comic was sad yet hopeful and it made me shed more than a few tears. Anyways, thanks to all who worked for the magazine (admittedly, I lost interest at the beginning of the Nintendo 64 era). As far as I'm concerned, the magazine went out with a bang, as the last five years or so have been the best following my introduction to the mag in the Summer of 89.
