I subscribed to GamePro because the issues were thick as fuck. Even though 1/2 the magazine were ads, I still felt I got my $$$ worth :fullofwin:

For me it was Nintendo Power subscription all the way (starting with the free copy of Dragon Warrior since nobody was buying RPGs yet) and the occasional copy of GamePro or EGM from the news stand after seeing how fricken thick they were :lawl:

:QQ: :QQ:

I did Nintendo Power because i got a half a year free once. so i continued for a bit after.

But i have a closet full of GamePro... like sooo many years worth. before the internet thats how i got my game news.

I never subscribed. I just went to 711's and newspaper stands as a kid and read them all lol. Then I'd peek to the penthouse mag sitting on the top right corner.

Todays version of piracy loll

I loved Nintendo Power. Got me hooked on the chats they did every Friday as a kid. Ended up winning a Mario Kart Double Dash shirt signed by a bunch of the staff because I won one of their contest things.

Nintendo Power was the shit. Got my first Pokemon card when they weren't even popular from one of the mags.

EGM...enough said

Who here can relate to this?

I remember going grocery shopping with my mom only because one of the highlights was to browse the magazine section reading EGM, Nintendo Power, Gamepro etc.. My mom would never buy a copy. Would spend like 20 mins easily reading all of them and trying so hard to remember the cheats hahaha

TBH I don't recall ever seeing Nintendo Power on the news stands before... For me it was all about EGM (didn't like Gamepro). I do recall my friend and I getting busted for trying to steal an EGM from Overwaitea. His mom blamed me of course, I got blamed every time he got caught doing something bad...

My dad got us a subscription to Nintendo Power through NES, SNES, and N64.

I remember Goldeneye being #1 for like forever

I went to the library because I was poor haha. Got to read all the latest ones for free!

i have a preety big collection laying around somewhere.

ahh goodtimes reading them at the school/public library

Wow... Brings me way back. My older bro subscribed to Nintendo Power back when we had a NES.

I always read the Mario and A Link to the Past comics every issue.
Unfortunately, my brother stopped subscriptions before the end of the comic so now I'll never know what happens.

:okay:

Maybe I can find the comic again and read it. That would be awesome!


(btw, when did Nester become a father? Did one issue, they just started drawing him older, or was it a smooth transition over the issues?)

safeway was like candy land for me because of those magazines

^ i thought i remember seeing em in safeway! just wasent sure lol

i remember seeing the very first screens from ocarina of time, drooled over every issue with coverage after that until my dad finally brought home the gold cart on release day :D
