Issue 9 - November/December 1989 - Tetris
Cool cover. It adequately sums up where people were at in 1989-1990.
TOC -
Take a look at the exciting endings of 10 of our favorite classic games! It's awesome! You could never get away with this today, or even 10 years ago.
It's Tetris.. in color! What a great hook.
Here's your ten epic endings. Metroid the only notable one of the bunch, unless you're talking for nostalgic reasons like Mario 1.
It's funny to read these now and say "who thought it was going to work?". I had a power glove and it was a total disaster.
Whoa, they loved Shadowgate. Good job NP.
Top 30 -
Mega Man 2 zips to #1 and Mario/Zelda come back down to earth. RPGs start to pick up some steam with Faxanadu and DW1 showing up. TMNT shows up proving that hype > game quality in NP. Mario 3 vanishes.
Ohhhh yes. The hype begins. Also, Fred Savage sucks at Mario confirmed.
