Issue 7 - July/August 1989 - Mega Man 2
TOC -
Looks like Capcom paid off NP this month!
This is some great MM2 coverage. Kinda crazy that they'd have everything for you before the game came out, but eh, they have strategy guides these days that do the same thing.
Top 30 -
They moved the top 30 up to the front of the magazine this time around. I have no idea why Mario 2 is #1 when Zelda 2 has more points. Ninja Gaiden debuts high, Tecmo Bowl soars, MM2 reaches #9 despite barely being out (or maybe not out at all?), Contra slides.
Dragon Warrior CYOA/fanfiction. I approve.
Reviews! Bad Dudes somehow does really well. Whatever.
Game Boy hype. Tetris hype. Double Dragon II hype. WE ARE TALKING 2-PLAYER SIMULTANEOUS PLAY! A feature never before seen in the Double Dragon series.
What the hell are these?
