In 1986, the Nintendo gave birth to the NES.  In 1988, a magazine, Nintendo Power, sprung up to provide coverage of all-that-is-Nintendo.  Just recently, Racket Boy scanned and released the entire first issue of Nintendo Power, an issue which will surely appeal to the nostalgic side in you.  Joystiq sums it up well: “the issue features a preview of Super Mario Bros. 2, a Zelda guide, and a roundup of the three best baseball games of that year, not to mention a slew of cheesy 80’s ads.”
