So, I went rummaging through my basement to clean it out a bit a few days ago, and I found some old, OLD issues of Nintendo Power. I didn't think much other than "ooh, i remember when..." until i hit Volume 31.

The cover - Samus, in all her glory. I read through it, and figured it was too good to keep to myself, especially while we're in the Month of Metroid. So browse through, use them as a cheat sheet when playing through the first few phases of Metroid II, take a trip down memory lane, see how far the game has come since then, how much things have changed...you get the idea.

even if you just look at the artwork on the pages, they're awesome. so many great poses, enemies...I, personally, love looking at artwork for the older games and systems. Don't know exactly why, but I'm drawn to it.

NES Achievers (I thought this page in all the issues was amazing! Look at those Dr. Mario, Narc, and PinBot scores - I really wanna know how they were able to do that!): http://aycu06.webshots.com/image/24365/2...417_rs.jpg

I miss the old NP days T_T

God this stuff is awesome. Very good find.

Metroid II was my least favourite Metroid game but all the games are such high quality that's by no means a bad thing.

I'm glad you were able to scan these images, they're great. Nostalgia & Month of Metroid FTW I didn't realize the first Metroid came out this month, 20 years ago. Samus has come along way.

awh man that was awesome stuff.
