There are already 145 issues of Nintendo Power added to the collection so far.

If you want to be nostalgic about your childhood, or just see what we were reading back in the late 80s, you should check out Nintendo Power. Starting in July of 1988, the magazine ran for over 24 years, with its final issue, #285, published in December of 2012.

It can be kind of hard to lay your hands on physical copies of these magazines, but thanks to Archive.org, you can peruse the first 145 issues online. They’re full of stories about classic games, interviews, and information. Best of all, you can check out what video game advertisements looked like nearly 30 years ago.

The era of the video game magazine may be behind us, but these are definitely worth going back and checking out. You can find all 145 issues added so far on Archive.org. You might even find a photo or two taken of a high score on a TV screen from someone that you know.
