The guides were grand stuff. I remember getting a subscription when they gave away the four orginal guides free (Mario Mania, NES Game Atlas, SNES Guide & Gameboy guide).

Mario Mania and the NES Game Atlas are "must own" guides even in modern internet era.


But the old NES/SNES days were top notch.
I quit getting NP around issue 50 (I think 50 was my last issue) because the coverage of NES games had dried up and i did not own a SNES.
