Man, this mag is such a nostalgia trip for me. I was remote-desktoping in to my home computer to deal with some finance crap and got distracted along the way (as usual)...I found a bunch of torrents for scans of old issues of Nintendo Power, something I wished for over the past few years!
Anyway, I snagged everything up till 1996, I only had a subscription till 90, with nothing over 91 and then another year subscription for 92. I checked one issue out quickly and the quality is excellent! CBR files are usually just zips of JPGs or other images, so if you don't want to get the free reader here just open the files up in winrar or something
I'm uploading them all now but they should be ready in a few hours after this post!

Do these hold any fond memories or nostalgia for anyone else?

Mah pleasure, Djinny! I may have to take them down cuz it's not just my server and I don't wanna kill our bandwidth
The torrents are easy to find though on mininova, for example, with about 5-10 people seeding

Same. It feels like I'm flying higher and higher, fighting my way through enemy fire!

Good stuff. I'm gonna thumb through these when I have some down time. I get all nostalgic over old game mags.
btw, if you can get hold of it, the latest issue of NP (August '09) has an article about the Tales Remix Project, which I have a song on. Woo!

I think that the only way you're going to nail a 10 (or 11) girl is if you have millions of dollars, a non maniac mansion, a bichon frise with a bow on it's head, a yacht, and multiple fast cars! i'm so sorry :/

why'd you have to take it down? im sure we could set up hosting somewhere.
My friend Steve runs Rawmaw and he uses it for his own needs as well, so I didn't wanna nuke the entire site. I'll put up some of the earlier issues again, though, and slowly rotate them! The first three issues are up for now, I'll get the rest up lata!

I still got all my NPs although an odd one is missing here or there and the oldest issues are completely fuglified by now. The Super Contra issue (13 or so) has been missing for me almost from day 1. I'd love to see that again... but bit torrent doesn't work from work. Have to initiated the download from my home computer.
In any case:: awesome

Pretty neat "research" project relating to Nintendo Power coverage as it corresponds to each NES game:

Must've taken this guy a while. Pretty admirable work.

i cross'd a barrier into SCOOPvilLe yesterday and dunked with the best jammers and fresh dip ballers roundabout through an awesome bomb dunk party.
