Set Description:
Can We Have One Please!?!? Christmas, be my Valentine, any day of the week release. Yes, please! We had a time convincing parents it wouldn't rot our brains! "Look mom I'm roadkill"- Jim Carrey the Mask. Having a debut for art and experience, the gaming industry took off. It was "all in" on the future, and it began with kids. I was one of those youths, and I especially enjoyed the portable systems. We longed for those handhelds to be in color! It was a hard convincing of one's parental figures to leave you to your device. Oh, how far we've come!

Always a Party when speaking of Nintendo and specifically the Power that you can "hold in your hands", because now you're playing with POWER! That is the Nintendo that we all know and love, and subsequently did not feel worthy for!

Families of all different ages and sizes started dreaming of computers and the possibilities. In construction, run time, and capabilities, as it was new during this sets run, or new enough looking back at how far we've come. It seemed very definitive and fragile, but took a kicking and kept ticking when in a home to be used by the whole and by way of family and friends, between tips and spills or even family pets. The care for man-made objects certainly went from a 7 to 8 on whatever scale you'd like to protect. Those were the beginnings of when these "systems" or "computers" normalized with two player automatic options, which was a big deal and still became a hiccup with personal computer's later or before the internet.

The 1st issue of the long running magazine Nintendo Power! Lower grade, yet I picked it up early on when I got back into collecting. It has been read and loved! This issue has tips and tricks on the 1st Zelda game, including a fold out map, which is intact. Blue Label! It's easy to get excited about these, as my friends got subscriptions, I did not. I'm basically in "fear of missing out" mode, from age 9. I still argue they're fun and enjoyable, and with the addition of recent reissues of older games, these are still to be used for the tips and tricks! Lest they be forgotten. I know of sites like gamefaqs.com that have rendered these tricks to be available online for free of charge. Along with YouTube, these all just make me want to play though, ha! I used to feel this way when young and watching sports. Why watch when you can, play?
Complete with a back cover picture of the actual game featured on the cover, got to catch them all because this started it all for Nintendo Power Magazine!
Grader Notes:
Back Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color;
Back Cover Wear;
Front Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color;
Front Cover Wear;
Spine Stress Lines Breaks Color.

Scott Campbell Nintendo Power Contest Winner! SS'd by Campbell on 5/26/18. The other of the 1st 2 magazines that I submitted to CGC, both in Signature Series! I tried like the Dickens to get published in Nintendo Power's art contest as a kid, and I had a dream one day that I did but could never find it when looking through my magazines. I guess that I woke up! So many Memories! I submitted an envelope with Mega Man drawn by me at about age 11, shooting his mega blaster! T.U.R.T.L.E. Power. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was a favorite pastime with friends and late nights, and this is the NON-SUBSCRIPTION EDITION. Clean back cover, with no messy address label, but this deep into the run it is opted for a different back cover picture. That is about all she wrote except there have been happenings with the 2nd copy in my other set with some interesting twists!
Complete with a back cover picture of the less talked about "THE OFFICIAL NINTENDO PLAYERS GUIDE!" It is not too thick for CGC to slab, so this copy might get sent into CGC, as it still contains the stickers! Most often they are missing, which would result in a "qualified grade!" All things of equal value it is sought after when complete. I bought it from the used bookstore for a cool $9 with tax, a happy collection pick-up.
Grader Notes:
Center Front Cover Stain;
Right Bottom Back Cover Crunch;
Right Bottom Front Cover Multiple Crease;
Right Center Front Cover Large Tear with Creas;
Top Back Cover Crease;
Whole Book Small Multiple Bend.
