Before the widespread adoption of computers and the internet it wasn't always easy getting the latest information about what was going on in the world. This was especially true when it came to video games and the rapidly expanding market which led to more and more titles being released than ever before.

Before dropping the cash down for a new game it was always wise to consult various sources to see if that game with the cool cover art really was as fun as it looked. Asking friends about their experiences was always great, but if you didn't personally know someone who had played it, books and magazines were the next best thing.

There were of course the big name publications like Nintendo Power which you could usually rely on to give you the low down along with beautiful level maps, cheat codes, and much more. But for those who wanted the bare minimum experience, Jeff Rovin's "How to Win at Nintendo" series had you covered. No pictures, no fancy graphics. It was just black text on yellow paper and your faith in what Jeff had to say making any sense. And did it always? That's one of the things we're finding out today!
