Released in the summer of 1988, Nintendo Power was arguably the video game mag that put video game mags on the map. This review by X-Entertainment was first published in 2003, but for those who haven't seen it, it's a worthwhile and entertaining read regarding the state of games circa 1988. From the article: "... for those who remember it or are otherwise curious, today we're going to take an in-depth look at Nintendo Power's famous debut issue... The magazine might not seem like much to those of you who weren't into Nintendo when it came out, but seriously, this was a big deal back then. Real big deal."
